Join us for a laid-back, super Spring-coded floral design party with Off The Lane on April 28th at 6:30pm! This creative night out meets hands-on flower power event meets cocktail party is all about playing with color, texture, and your own unique style.

We’ll have all the materials ready for you (fresh blooms, tools, and floral arrangement guidance), so you can relax, sip on a cocktail/mocktail, and build your very own bouquet. Expect good music, fun people, and a table full of fresh flowers waiting just for you! Come solo, bring a date, or roll in with friends: everyone’s welcome.

Spots are limited, so grab yours and come celebrate with other NYC artists that Spring is *finally* here 🌸

Now time for some classic Tom Petty lyrics that capture this event quite nicely, I think:

“You belong among the wildflowersYou belong somewhere close to meFar away from your trouble and worriesYou belong somewhere you feel free”

Mauzy (May 14th)
2026-05-14 20:00 - 22:00
Off The Lane’s next ColLab production is “Mauzy” by Derek Davidson: a haunting Appalachian musical folk tale inspired by the Noh drama “Matsukaze”. Set in the misty mountains of 1929, the play follows a traveling preacher who seeks shelter in a remote cabin inhabited by two enigmatic sisters. As stories are shared and the night unfolds, reality begins to blur with memory, myth, and ghostly longing. Blending bluegrass music, storytelling, and the supernatural world, “Mauzy” explores grief, desire, faith, and the stories we tell to survive. WE ARE SOLD OUT! IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN JOINING THE WAITLIST OR STANDING ROOM PARTIAL VIEW REACH OUT TO HELLO@OFFTHELANE.ORG

The production is being directed by Rachel Sabo-Hedges, associate directed by Anna Zheng, and features a stunning cast including Anna Grace Crawford, Tara Halpern, Miciah Wallace, Michael Kaczkowski, Jasmine Renee Pierce, Sarah Elizabeth Mesibov, and Jason Curtis Rivera.

Doors will open at 7:30pm, with the performance beginning at 8pm. The show runs approximately 90 minutes.

(Note: Alcoholic & Non-Alcoholic Beverages will be available to purchase – all proceeds will go to future OTL artists and projects)

DIRECTOR’S NOTE: “In June of 1920, a mob of thousands gathered in Duluth, Minnesota, and lynched three young Black men — Elias Clayton, Elmer Jackson, and Isaac McGhie. They were innocent. No one was convicted of their murders. For decades, their names were nearly forgotten.

This is not a distant history. It is a history that was buried, and burying is a choice.Derek Davidson’s “Mauzy” asks us to sit with that choice. The play borrows its architecture from a 14th-century Japanese Noh drama, its music from the Appalachian mountains, and its moral weight from a real street corner in a real American city. What it builds from those materials is something I don’t think theatre does often enough: it insists that the unspeakable be spoken, that the buried be named, that the people we have chosen to forget be given back their full weight.We are living in a current moment that keeps asking us the same question this play asks. I’ll let the play ask it in its own way. But I will say this: I don’t think any of us will leave unchanged. Elias Clayton. Elmer Jackson. Isaac McGhie.” – Rachel Sabo-Hedges (Director)
