Additional Materials
Seeking:
-
Casey: Male Identifying, 20s, white. A charismatic and good-looking
small-town high school football star turned Elvis’s impersonator, with
the biggest of hearts. He loves his wife ferociously; dreams big, if not
always practically; but his charm and optimism are infectious. Married
to Jo. He becomes Georgia McBride, his new drag queen persona with
Elvis/country/rock and roll roots; a force of nature; sexy, flirtatious,
athletic, joyous, and fierce. Note: The role requires dancing in heels,
lip-syncing, and singing. Playing guitar is a plus.
- Jo: Female
Identifying, African American. She is Casey’s wife. A hardheaded realist
who is prone to being fatalistic, insecure about her appearance, but
still a striking young woman. Determined, quick- witted, tough without
being bitchy. Loves Casey wholeheartedly; she is his grounding force.
Supportive of Casey’s dreams, but aware of their financial hardships,
and her newly discovered pregnancy.
- Miss Tracy Mills: Male
Identifying or non-binary, 40s-59s, any ethnicity. A well-seasoned and
very gifted Drag Queen, Professional, Confident, and very funny, with a
heart of gold. Tracy’s bitchiness is of the harmless variety.
Intelligent, kind, protective, resourceful, and nurturing. A natural
mentor and drag mother to Casey. She combats strife with a razor wit and
a steely determination. Equal parts inspiration and desperation. When
she’s not embracing her drag persona, she is Bobby, Eddie’s cousin.
Note: The role requires dancing in heels and lip-syncing.
-
Rexy/Jason: Male Identifying or non-binary, 20s-30s, any ethnicity.
Rexy: Fiery, Combative, Emotional, she’s a sharp-tongued drag queen with
a dark past and destructive behavior; a trashy girl who fancies herself
the most sophisticated lady in the room. A fellow drag performer of
Miss Tracy Mills. Jason: Casey and Jo’s sweet-natured best friend and
neighbor. Casey’s high school buddy and now Landlord. A young father,
henpecked at home, surprises you with warmth and insight. Note: The role
requires dancing in heels and lip-syncing.
- Eddie: Male
Identifying, 50s-60s, any ethnicity. The no-frills owner of Cleo’s Bar
on the beach in Panama City, Florida, and Bobby’s (aka/Miss Tracy) older
cousin. Easily flustered, rough around the edges, a walking ulcer, but a
huge heart. His curmudgeon exterior shields his open-hearted generosity
and empathy. He starts off as the world’s worst emcee but transforms
into an amateur showman who secretly loves the spotlight.
