Georgia McBride Auditions

Los Altos Stage Company is holding open auditions for the South Bay Premiere of The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez.

All roles are open in this hilarious and heartfelt comedy. Casey is a young, broke Elvis impersonator with a rent check due and a baby on the way. When his floundering Elvis act is replaced with a B-level drag show, Casey finds he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself. Los Altos Stage Company’s production is directed by Linda Piccone (The Great American Trailer Park Musical)

Character Breakdown (For this production, LASC is interested in seeing actors of all ethnicities and backgrounds, for all roles.)

Casey: Male, in his 20s. A very good Elvis impersonator whose act doesn’t draw. Eternally optimistic and good natured, but doesn’t know what to think of the drag show at first.

Jo: Female, in her 20s. Casey’s wife and the pragmatist in the relationship. She loves Casey, but is constantly frustrated by the choices he makes (and the secrets he keeps).

Eddie: Male, early 50s-mid 60s. Owner of the bar where Casey performs his Elvis act. All about business and gruff, but loveable. Also, a terrible public speaker.

Miss Tracy Mills: Male, early 40s- late 50s. Eddie’s cousin and who runs/performs the drag show. A fierce performer and a direct businessperson. Handles the transformation of Casey into Georgia McBride.

Rexy/Jason: Male, mid 20s-late 30s. Miss Tracy’s partner in the drag act, though substance use and abuse makes performing a challenge from time to time. Also plays Jason, Casey’s friend and landlord.

Mail: PO Box 151, Los Altos, CA 94023
