ColLab Staged Reading Series: Stupid Boring Straight People by Seth Barnes
2026-02-27 19:00 - 21:30 | MEAUX SPACE, 305 7TH AVE FL 17, NEW YORK, NY, 10001, United States
What do you think your friends think you think of them? ColLab’s Staged Reading Series is so back at Off The Lane in 2026 with “Stupid Boring Straight People” by Seth Barnes! Join us as four couples in varying degrees of love and anguish navigate one disastrous Halloween party.

The ColLab staged reading series reimagines what a “reading” can be. Instead of a static presentation, we transform the room into an immersive environment that surrounds audiences with the world of the piece while honoring the development of a new script (audience members won’t be required to participate unless they want to.) The result? Developmental presentations that feel alive, communal, and exciting, because we believe interactive storytelling is the next generation of creative connection.

Our crazy talented cast of couples includes Jared Palmer Kirsch, Bryanna Marie Felipe, Caleb Schantz, Elena Cramer, Alec Ludacka, Emily Eidman, D.B. Milliken, and Malia Munley.

Directed by Rachel Sabo-Hedges

Seth is also a musician and producer who often incorporates music and sound design into his plays. His work includes “Stupid Boring Straight People” and “ApocaLIPSTICK.” When he’s not writing, Seth can be found running in Prospect Park, playing Dungeons & Dragons, or spending too much money on guitar pedals.

Mauzy (May 14th)

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.

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)

Long ago, in a provincial town outside of Rio de Janeiro, an elite doctor opens Brazil’s first ever insane asylum.

The doctor, desperate to pursue Science in a world governed by corrupt priests and old-school plutocrats, stretches his definition of madness—until, suddenly, almost the entire town is trapped in his madhouse. This building, seen either as a bastion of scientific progress or as a prison, was known as the Casa Verde, or “Green House.”

Greenhouse is an interactive theater adaptation of Machado de Assis’s celebrated novella “O Alienista.” It asks: as public institutions crumble, who can you trust, if anyone? As the figureheads of scientific progress, religion, old-school politics, and leftist revolution all battle for influence, audience members must make their own decisions—voting, chanting, and perhaps even rebelling—to determine which individuals should be in power next.

Join us for Off The Lane’s next immersive ColLab production, devised by The Elif Collective & co-produced with Pop Up! Productions on September 17th-19th at 7pm ET.
