Retail Theater

In the Retail Theater, the synthetic playhouse performs stories about people acting up in retail or consumer situations. The stories themselves are funny or recount unthinkable behaviors. What makes these performances entertaining, albeit quirky, is that artificial intelligence is used as much as possible in the performance.
