LUCKY CHICK to Premiere at FringeNYC This August

Lucky Chick has been selected to be part of the 2015 New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC). Written by and starring Felicity Seidel, the solo show is a comedic story of how a young girl got swept up into a crazy drug and sex-fueled world alongside her older boyfriend, Bob Weir of The Grateful Dead.

Developed over the last two years in Matt Hoverman's Go-Solo workshops and with Naked Angels, Lucky Chick focuses on a teenage girl's wild exploits which take her from the streets of New York City to Alaska where her real adventure begins. She is plucked from the crowd of a Grateful Dead show by Bob Weir and the chance meeting is the start of what becomes an incredible ten-year romance.

Throughout her relationship with Weir, Felicity finds herself in the most unimaginable situations - touring with the legendar Grateful Dead, encounters with the Hells Angels, and exploits with an angry drug-kingpin (on-the-side) boyfriend. Hers is a raucous story of drugs, sex and overall craziness that most people don't even imagine let alone get to experience.

Lucky Chick is directed by Padraic Lillis who has developed and directed over twenty solo shows including the award-winning A Line in the Sand by Adina Taubman, When Thoughts Attack by Kelly Kinsella and Bully by Lee Kaplan which garnered him a "NY Fringe Outstanding Excellence for Directing" award in 2013.

Screenwriter and actor Felicity Seidel has appeared in several films and plays including a leading role in Donald Margulies' Dinner with Friends and a short-film adaptation of Joe Orton's Ruffian on the Stair. She co-wrote, starred in and co-produce the short film Welcome to WillieWorld which premiered at the LA Film Festival and was later selected by RESFest as one of the top five digital shorts of the year. Seidel currently has another screenplay in development, The First Strange Adventure of The Bird, which she co-wrote with poet-novelist Maggie Dubris.

The New York International Fringe Festival (FringeNYC) is the largest multi-arts festival in North America, with more than 20 companies from all over the world showcasing 1200 performances for 16 days in more than 20 venues.
