Lucille Lortel Award-winner Iris Bahr is bringing her hit solo show I Lost You There: A humorous exploration of a most unfunny subject, back for a limited two-week engagement at the Cherry Lane Theatre. Bahr will take audiences on a funny and moving journey through love, loss, mortality, and Brussels sprouts. The show will be directed by Andrew Russell.

Performances begin Tuesday, October 3 through Saturday, October 7 and continue Tuesday October 10 through Saturday October 14, with evening performances at 7pm and 3pm matinees on Wednesdays and Saturdays.

After a smash run earlier this year in May, I Lost You There returns to the Cherry Lane Theatre Studio Space featuring Award-winning solo performer Bahr ("Curb Your Enthusiasm," "Svetlana," DAI) as she brings to life six characters whose lives intertwine in surprising and hilarious ways, exploring how death is viewed and experienced through different occupations, personal attitudes and cultural norms. Through her distinguished brand of witty pathos, Bahr brings to life touching and hilarious characters whose lives interconnect in surprising ways, shining a light on the one aspect of our existence that we all have in common.
