All non-Equity performers are compensated as well. *ABOUT THE PLAY/ROLES AVAILABLE* SETTING: Panama City, Florida TIME: Present *{From the Dramatists Play Service website}* *THE STORY:* He’s young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he’s just found out his wife is going to have a baby. To make 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. THE CRITICS: “Stitch-in-your-side funny…full of sass and good spirits.” —NY Times. “López demonstrates a…stellar gift for amusing dialogue and farcical humor…highly entertaining.” —The Hollywood Reporter. “…[an] irresistible crowd-pleaser…Chasing buzzy themes of 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 New York. *CAST:* *CASEY: 20’s. White.* 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. *JO: 20’s. Black.* 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. *MISS TRACY MILLS: 40’s – 50’s. Any Ethnicity.* 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. *REXY / JASON: 20’s – 30’s. Any Ethnicity.* 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. 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. *EDDIE: 50’s – 60’s. Any Ethnicity.* 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).
