Felicity Seidel

Writer & Performer

Felicity has been getting in and out of trouble across this great country for decades. Her signature one-woman show Lucky Chick has been acclaimed by critics and audiences alike with a sold-out off-Broadway run. She developed Lucky Chick in Emmy Award-winning writer Matt Hoverman’s Go-Solo workshops and at Naked Angels Tuesdays@9 where it was chosen for the Naked Angels 1st Mondays reading series. She is a devoted regular at Theatre Workshop of Nantucket where she has acted in productions of Neil Simon’s female version of The Odd Couple and Dinner with Friends by Donald Margulies. Seidel starred in Green House, winner of Best Youth Film at the 2020 Women in Horror Film Festival. She co-wrote, starred in and co-produced Welcome to WillieWorld, a short film which the Los Angeles Times said, “evokes in a beautiful, jagged rush of images the hectic existence of a New York paramedic.” It premiered at the Los Angeles Film Festival and was a RESFest pick for top-five digital shorts of the year. She studied acting with Harry Mastrogeorge and received her B.A. in physics, magna cum laude, from San Francisco State University. FelicitySeidel.com
