Staffing & leadership
Vault Theatre was founded by Lauren Sale, who serves as its Producing Artistic Director and teaches throughout all of its programming. Lauren is an experienced theatre educator and director specializing in theatre with, for, and by young people. She has led education programs at theatres across the U.S. and U.K.—including Writers Theatre in Chicago, Florida Repertory Theatre, and North Carolina Theatre—and has trained at The Royal Central School of Speech and Drama in London and Niagara University. Each summer camp is led by professional Teaching Artists who are both working theatre practitioners and skilled educators. Together, they create a dynamic, imaginative, and joy-filled environment where campers build confidence, creativity, and collaboration through theatre.
