BREAKDOWN
“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.”
seeking
Casey/Georgia McBride – Male, 20s. White. A charismatic and good-looking small town high school football star turned Elvis impersonator; hasn’t yet had to grow up and take responsibility for his life; also plays Georgia McBride: a drag queen with rock and roll roots; a force of nature; sexy, flirtatious, and fierce.
Jo – Female, 20s. African-American. Casey’s wife; a hard-headed realist who is prone to being fatalistic; insecure about her appearance, but still a striking woman.
Jason/Rexy – Male or Non-Binary, 20-30s. Any ethnicity. Jason: Casey and Jo's sweet best friend; also plays Rexy: a bitchy, feisty, sharp-tongued drag queen with a dark past; a trashy girl who fancies herself the most sophisticated lady in the room.
Miss Tracy Mills – Male or Non-Binary, 40s-50s. Any ethnicity. A seasoned drag queen; professional, confident, and very funny; his bitchiness is of the harmless variety and he has a heart of gold; kind, protective, and nurturing to Casey.
Eddie – Male, 50s-60s. Any ethnicity. The easily flustered, hot-headed owner of a struggling dive bar; a bit rough around the edges; still longing for the dimly remembered glory days of high school; later in the play, he becomes an amateur showman who loves the spotlight; cousin to Tracey.
