“Good Grief: Stories and Song” is a three day installation and performance series, free and open to the public, taking place THIS WEEKEND, August 28th - 30th, 2026 inside Lincoln Center Theater’s Christopher Lightfoot Walker Lobby at the Vivian Beaumont (150 West 65th Street).

In collaboration with The Strangers Project, Sara Bareilles’ plans to fill LCT’s gorgeous space with story and song, an immersive experience highlighting our shared humanity and our collective need for sharing.

Hundreds of stories from The Strangers Project — an ongoing collection of anonymous, handwritten true stories shared by strangers since 2009 — will be on display and intermingled with audio recordings from fans who recently shared their stories of grief.

Sara will be playing some songs for you on a magnificent Steinway Spirio piano at the following times;

Friday @ 6:30pm

Saturday @ 4:30pm

Sunday @ 1:30pm
