Tony-nominated actress and winner of a 2015 Theatre World Award, Sydney Lucas is an entertainer in every sense of the word, having already conquered theater, film and television at just 12 years old! In 2013, Sydney made her off-Broadway debut in Fun Home which premiered at The Public Theater. There she showcased her singing and acting talents portraying Small Alison, a tough but caring, spunky and opinionated little girl who was stifled by her father's ideas of femininity while searching for her identity. For her work in the musical (that was then extended four times), Sydney won an Obie Award (youngest in history), and was nominated for a Lucille Lortel Award, an Outer Critic's Circle Award, a Drama Desk Award, and a Drama League Award. TV credits include: Law & Order: SVU, Royal Pains, FX pilot How & Why, Late Show with David Letterman, Sesame Street and a Saturday Night Live digital short entitled The Stand Off (opposite Jeremy Renner). Sydney's film credits include: She's Funny That Way, festival favorite film short Fool's Day, which was directed by Cody Blue Snider, as well as the young version of Kristen Wiig's character in both Girl Most Likely and The Skeleton Twins. Shortly after her stage run, she completed filming the indie Dude directed by Olivia Milch.
“Lady is a 19-year-old girl who still lives with her parents and never quite has the time or energy to take care of herself. Amongst her family of 6, every member has their own secrets, but as a result of her bad habits and attitudes, bridges begin to burn within her family causing her to use over-sleeping and drugs as an escape. She ignores the warnings she is given by the insistent folk around her, which she will later regret. As she dreams, nightmares of her dying horrible deaths begin to haunt her. One day her fears come alive when she discovers her freshly killed body lying in her living room, with no known cause of death. Lady takes it upon herself to unearth the mysteries of her own death before she loses herself entirely.”
