THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA McBRIDE Comes to Virginia Stage Company

Casey is down on his luck. Recently fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator, he scrambles to pay his rent and support his newly pregnant wife. When a new drag show replaces his act, Casey trades in his jumpsuit for a dress and finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business-and himself. This music-filled comedy explores the art of finding your true voice, with loads of laughs and dance numbers along the way.

The Legend of Georgia McBride, whose playwright Matthew Lopez was just honored by the Human Rights Campaign with the Equality Award, begins performances March 4 with an official opening March 7 and runs through March 22. Tickets for each performance start as low as $25 for children under 12 and discounts are available for groups, students, and members of the military and veterans.
