Once again, RuPaul's Drag Race audition season is upon us. Due to an unfortunate technological iCal glitch, CHELSEA PIERS finds herself dangerously close to missing the midnight deadline. In an epic act of multitasking, Chelsea scrambles to create an audition tape in front of a live audience. As she relays stories and songs of life as an aspiring drag starlet, she must check off Ru's laundry list of video submission requirements. With material spanning Celine Dion to Sondheim, join Chelsea as she races against the clock in her irrepressible pursuit of a shot at Reality TV infamy.
CHELSEA PIERS has been performing on New York’s hottest stages for more than five years with her unique theatrical, punk rock flair. Winner of “Breakthrough Artist” at the 2013 Glam Awards, Chelsea has headlined at Provincetown’s famed Crown & Anchor, the historic Stonewall Inn, and was a featured performer at the release events for Pinot by Tituss Burgess. She also has made several appearances on Bravo’s “Watch What Happens Live” with Andy Cohen. She currently stars on "Shade: Queens of NYC" on Fusion TV.
