matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis
impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings
in a B-level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot
to learn about show business—and himself.</span></p>

identity and transformation, GEORGIA MCBRIDE is by turns sweet and salty and
deceptively deep…confirms [López’s] status as a writer worth hearing from.”
—New York Daily News. “…a delightful, genderbending farce…a funny and often
glorious tribute to the art of drag…López delivers a strong message on
tolerance for the entire spectrum of human sexuality, while creating a
barrelful of fun in the process.” —Variety. “[A] heartfelt, feel-good comedy…a
spirited defense of drag as a form of cultural protest and a way of life.” —AM

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u>CASEY: 20’s. White.</u>
Charming. Optimistic.
Competitive. Intuitive. A former small town high school football star turned
Elvis impersonator, Casey approaches performing with the competitive determination
of an athlete, and when he is on stage his charm is effervescent. While he
identifies as a male, through the course of his journey to become a drag
performer he discovers other facets to his personality and identity as well as
the beauty found in the art of drag. And he becomes a truly remarkable drag
performer. Married to Jo he about to become a new father. Casey can perform
choreography and sing, and ideally plays some guitar.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u>JO: 20’s. Black.</u>
Determined.
Organized. Gritty. Quick-witted. Originally from Tallahassee she has moved to a
small town outside of Panama City to be with her husband, Casey. While fully supportive
of Casey’s dreams she is equally aware of the financial and emotional
challenges facing artists and their families, and Casey’s newest journey causes
her to question her own understanding of gender identity. Regardless, she
approaches all her challenges with a winning combination of grit, wit, and empathy.
Her newly discovered pregnancy is also a guiding force and a challenge.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u>MISS TRACY MILLS: 40’s – 50’s. Any Ethnicity.</u>
Intelligent. Funny. Quick. Resourceful. An experienced and gifted drag
performer Miss Tracy Mills celebrates the artform with open eyes fully
recognizing its thrills and challenges. She combats strife with a razor-sharp
wit and a steely determination, but it is her big heart and vulnerability that
allows her to capture our attention when she performs. A natural mentor she recognizes
Casey’s potential and takes him under her wing as her drag daughter. Bottom
line – Miss Tracy Mills is an inspirational person on and off stage. When not
embracing her drag persona she is Bobby, Eddie’s male-identifying cousin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u>REXY / JASON: 20’s – 30’s. Any Ethnicity.</u>
REXY~~~Fiery. Combative. Emotional. Miss Anorexia Nervosa (Rexy) fully
embraces her identity as a drag queen and bears the physical and emotional
scars of this choice. Unfortunately, this often leads her to destructive
behavior. Rexy is a fellow drag performer of Miss Tracy Mills.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif">JASON~~~Gentle. Sweet. Childlike. Jason is Casey’s high
school buddy and also his current landlord. Eager to avoid conflict, Jason
often retreats from his wife and children to the safety of his friendship with
Casey. Watching Casey’s journey causes Jason to question some of his own life
choices.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin:0in 0in 8pt;line-height:107%;font-size:11pt;font-family:Calibri,sans-serif"><u>EDDIE: 50’s – 60’s. Any Ethnicity.</u>
Opportunistic. Cranky. Fair-minded. Eddie is the no-frills owner of
Cleo’s Bar on the Beach in Panama City. His curmudgeon exterior shields his
open-hearted generosity and empathy. Eddie is the older cousin of Bobby (aka
Miss Tracy Mills).</p>
