About the Artist

4 Chairs Theatre presents:

Lost and Found
(Finding our way through Broadway)

Have you ever felt lost in the world? Or struggled to find your way? What does it mean to feel found? To find your place? Through music, humor and compassion, 4 Chairs Theatre young artists perform Broadway songs and stories that reflect the journeys life takes us through and how we find our way back to a place called home.

Lauren Berman, Founder and Director of 4 Chairs Theatre, created a not-for-profit theatre committed to providing a safe and positive space for people of all ages, cultures, genders, races, abilities and walks of life. Our performances, original works, and educational programs breathe humanity, empathy and truth. We amplify voices that are often excluded, and uncover hearts that are often hidden. By replacing “You’re too…” and You’ll never…” with “You’re enough..” and “You will…”, we aspire to change the world, one show at a time.

You can sit with us.
