THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE
by Matthew Lopez
Rehearsals start May 2 | Runs May 27 thru June 25
Seeking:
Casey/Georgia McBride
Male, 26-29, Caucasian. Southern. Casey: a charismatic and good-looking small town high school football star turned Elvis impersonator; a loyal, loving husband who dreams big, if not practically; lived a charmed life until now, and though he's never dumb, he hasn't yet had to grow up and take responsibility for his life/family. Georgia: a drag queen with Elvis, country, and rock 'n' roll roots, but ultimately a wholly original creation and a force of nature; sexy, flirtatious, and fierce.
Jo
Female, 26-29, Caucasian. Southern; Casey's wife; a hard-headed woman married to a soft-hearted man; a realist who's prone to being fatalistic; grounds her husband while he enables her to breathe and dream; tough without being bitchy; works hard in a service job and it's taken a toll run down; insecure about her appearance; she is perhaps not the striking, sexy girl she once was, but those qualities are just below the surface.
Rexy/Jason/Helvetica
Male, 32-38, any ethnicity. Rexy: bitchy in a mean way, but very funny; feisty and sharp-tongued with a dark past; a fairly trashy gal who fancies herself the most sophisticated in the room; thrives on conflict and is a bit of a hot mess, but she has great respect for the history and art of drag. Jason: the sweet best friend of Jo and Casey. Helvetica: a mellow, confident, unflappable drag queen.
Eddie/Dee Dee Dumb
Male, 30-39, any ethnicity. Eddie: the easily flustered, hot-headed owner of a struggling dive bar; a bit rough around the edges; still longing for the dimly remembered glory days of high school; later in the play, he becomes an amateur showman who loves the spotlight; cousin to Tracey. Dee Dee: a vapid and silly and empty-headed drag queen.
