SUMMARY:ColLab Staged Reading Series: Stupid Boring Straight People by Seth Barnes
DESCRIPTION: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. \n\n\n\nThe 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. \n\n\n\nOur 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. \n\n\n\nDirected by Rachel Sabo-Hedges \n\n\n\n(Note: Alcoholic & Non-Alcoholic Beverages will be available to purchase – all proceeds will go to future OTL artists and projects) \n\n\n\nTHIS COMMUNITY EVENT IS SUPPORTED\, IN PART\, BY PUBLIC FUNDS FROM THE NEW YORKCITY DEPARTMENT OF CULTURAL AFFAIRS IN PARTNERSHIP WITH THE CITY COUNCIL. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMEET THE COMPANY \n\n\n\nSeth Barnes (he/him) (PLAYWRIGHT) is a Wisconsin-born\, Brooklyn-based playwright with a BFA in Acting and a Minor in Creative Writing from the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point.

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.

They were innocent. No one was convicted of their murders. For decades\, their names were nearly forgotten. \n\n\n\nThis 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) \n\n\n\nMEET THE COMPANY \n\n\n\n\nANNA GRACE CRAWFORD (Mauzy) (She/Her) is a Texas native and recent alumna from Long Island University Brooklyn in association with The New Group\, where she studied acting with a concentration in music.

As stories are shared and the night unfolds\, reality begins to blur with memory\, myth\, and ghostly longing.
