A "staged reading" is usually actors on stage READING their roles (sometimes at a podium, other times just standing or in front of a microphone), without the costumes, sets, props, changes in lighting, or movement on stage.
Depending on the skill of the actors, it can be very effective, since the beauty of Shakespeare is the language itself.

"Stage Reading" is actually a pretty broad term, and encompasses a wide variety of theatrical experiences. Sometimes, they're more "reading" than "staged," with actors sitting behind desks (or at stools with their scripts on music stands, or some such)...other times, directors will actually have the actors involved in each scene stand and come forward, and will attempt to put some movement to the process, even though the actors are still holding their scripts.
By and large, what they're telling you by the use of "staged reading" is that what you're going to see is not a fully rehearsed (or fully-mounted) production.

It's a lot like the so called stage shows in concert.

Well according to the name it could be stand on a stage and instead of acting a play, you have to act the play but reading it, it's easier, right?
WEll, I guess that' what it means.
Good luck

You will be surrounded by gay people and guys that are hoping to impress chicks with their cultural awareness.
