Breakdown
Casey/Georgia McBride.
Late 20’s, Caucasian, Southern. As CASEY he is a charismatic and good looking small town high school football star turned Elvis impersonator. A loyal, loving husband who dreams big, if not practically. He’s 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. As GEORGIA he is 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.
Late 20’s, Caucasian. Southern. Casey’s wife. A hard-headed woman married to a soft-hearted man. A realist who’s prone to being fatalistic. She grounds him while he enables her to breathe and dream. Tough without being bitchy. She 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.
Miss Tracey Mills/ Beau/Miss Penelope Figgs.
40. As TRACEY, he is a seasoned drag queen, professional, confident, very funny. His bitchiness is of the harmless variety and he has a heart of gold, kind and protective and nurturing to Casey. As BEAU, he is a long-suffering and caring brother to Casey and an idealistic candidate for public office. As PENELOPE he is an aged, wheezy, bravely soldiering on drag queen…generous to the younger generation of performers. Role is cast.
Rexy/Jason/Helvetica.
Mid-30’s. Any ethnicity. As REXY, he is 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. As Eddie, he is the sweet best friend of Jo and Casey. As HELVETICA, he is a mellow, confident, unflappable drag queen.
Eddie/Dee Dee Dumb.
30’s. As EDDIE, he is 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. As DEE DEE, he is a vapid and silly and empty headed drag queen.
