About the Play

The Legend of Georgia McBride is a big-hearted, music-filled comedy about finding your voice and embracing your truth. Set in the Florida panhandle, the play follows Casey, an Elvis impersonator whose gig at a small-town bar is replaced with a drag show. When he unexpectedly steps into a pair of heels himself, Casey discovers a talent — and a confidence — he never knew he had.

Full of humor, heart, and dazzling drag, this play celebrates identity, resilience, and the transformative power of performance.

CASEY / GEORGIA MCBRIDE | 20s–30s, male presenting | An Elvis impersonator struggling to make ends meet. Earnest, a bit naive, and deeply in love with his wife. Must have strong comedic instincts and willingness to perform in drag. Vocal ability and comfort with movement required.

JO | 20s–30s, female presenting | Casey’s practical, loving wife. Smart, grounded, and carrying the weight of financial stress. A heartfelt and emotionally grounded role.

EDDIE | 40s–50s, male presenting | The owner of Cleo’s bar where Casey performs. Practical, stressed about finances, and trying to keep his business afloat. Makes the decision to replace the Elvis act with a drag show. Direct, business-minded, but not unkind.
