MAUZY, an Appalachian Folk Musical by Derek Davidson, to be Presented at Off The Lane
Rachel Sabo-Hedges directs Anna Grace Crawford and Tara Halpern in the bluegrass-infused supernatural tale.
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.
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. Performances run May 14th-16th, 2026. Tickets are $30 for standard ticket, $35 with drink ticket included.
