THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA
McBRIDE"
CASEY/GEORGIA
Male-identifying, 20s, Caucasian. As CASEY he is a charismatic and charming small town high school football star turned Elvis impersonator. A loyal, loving husband who dreams big, if not practically. As GEORGIA she 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 powerful. Must be comfortable singing while playing guitar live.
JO:
Female-identifying, 20s, African-American. JO is Casey's wife, a caring and supportive partner. She's a realist who's prone to being fatalistic. She works hard in a service job and it's taken a toll, but her pragmatism grounds Casey while he enables her to breathe and dream.
MISS TRACEY MILLS/BOBBY
Male-identifying, 40s-50s, any ethnicity. As TRACEY, she is a seasoned drag queen, professional, confident, very funny. Her sharp tongue masks her heart of gold; she's kind, protective and nurturing to Casey. Out of drag, as BOBBY, he still has Miss Tracey's wit and tough love, but without all the rhinestones and ruffles.
REXY/JASON
Male-identifying, 20s-30s, any ethnicity. As REXY, she is very funny, feisty and fierce 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 JASON, he is the sweet best friend of Jo and Casey, as well as their landlord. He has a contentious relationship with his wife, so he usually prefers being in their home to his.
EDDIE:
Male-identifying, 50s-60s, any ethnicity. EDDIE, cousin to Miss Tracey, is the easily flustered, hotheaded owner of a struggling dive bar trying to keep the business afloat. He's a bit rough around the edges, but later in the play he becomes an amateur showman who loves the spotlight.
