LUCKY ME, written by Sachi Parker and Frederick Stroppel, is preparing for a New York production in the fall of 2011 will be presented at the Burgdorff Center of The Performing Arts in Maplewood NJ on Sunday, May 22nd at 3pm as a semi-staged reading with no intermission, and will be followed by a Q & A session with Ms. Parker.
Written with playwright Frederick Stroppel, LUCKY ME is the funny-sad story of Sachi’s long odyssey of self-discovery, as she struggles to reconnect with her mother, Shirley MacLaine, and escape from her imposing shadow at the same time. It spans the Rat-Pack-Vegas-“Mad Men” world of the 60’s through the free-love consciousness-raising 70’s to the New Age self-absorption of the 80’s and 90’s, finally landing in the present wherever-we-are-now.
