This is a unique theatre experience. Upon entering The Vault, you first see the setup for where the plays will take place. You are then directed down the stairs to another room where a reception is set up with a full buffet and bar. It has the feel of a small wedding as the audience mingles. After about half an hour, the actors begin with a short scene that ends with them inviting the audience back up to the main room.

The first short comedic play is called “I Work With Computers”. At first it seems like a normal work scene of someone having issues communicating with his coworkers. One of his colleagues says he doesn’t know what to do when two files have the same name. Should he just replace the old one? Should he rename the new one? If so, how should he rename it? And then it clicks that this coworker is a file manager on a computer! He also has to deal with the search coworker bringing the wrong information, the annoying autocorrect, and the shutdown feature. It’s quite hilarious once you figure it out!
