The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez:
Age ranges are flexible. Open to all ethnicities.
CASEY, male, 20s - an Elvis impersonator turned drag queen. Optimistic and enthusiastic, but not terribly responsible. A talented performer and very adaptable.
JO, female, 20s - Casey’s wife. Definitely the more organized and grounded member of the pair. Loves Casey but gets very frustrated with his lack of attention to practical matters.
MISS TRACY MILLS, male, 40s-50s - an elegant and talented drag queen. Sassy and funny, but takes her job very seriously. A consummate professional with a nurturing side.
REXY/JASON, male, 20s-30s - Rexyis a younger drag queen and the protégée of Tracy. She’s a good performer when she can hold her liquor and pills. Her devil-may-care attitude belies a difficult youth. Jason is Casey’s best friend and landlord. He’s a laid-back dude, but he likes to have the rent paid on time.
(Note: Rexy and Jason are not the same character, but they are played by the same actor.)
EDDIE, male, 50s-60s - Tracy’s cousin and Casey’s employer. Owner of a not-too-successful bar in Panama City Beach, FL. A terrible emcee who eventually develops some flair with guidance from his cousin.
Callbacks will likely be virtual and we will schedule them as needed.
