BREAKDOWN
Jo (20-30 / African American Woman) Jo is the supportive, but increasingly pregnant wife of Casey; she is a hard-headed woman married to a soft-hearted man; a realist who’s prone to being fatalistic, she grounds him, while he enables her to breathe and dream; tough without being bitchy, firm without being brittle; a steel rod for a spine; she loves him deeply and he’s the only person she feels safe showing her vulnerability to; works multiple service jobs struggling to keep them afloat and it’s taken a toll.
Jason (25-34 / Male / Any Ethnicity) Jason is Casey’s straight, perhaps red-neck, best friend and landlord; He can sometimes be a bit spineless--but loves his friends dearly; capable of surprising insight and warmth. Jason is a dude. (Note: In Some productions, this role also plays Rexy)
Rexy (20-30 / Male / Any Ethnicity) Rexy is a spoiled, self-centered, fabulously fierce and feisty sharp-tongued drag performer with a dark past; a trashy gal who fancies herself the most sophisticated in the room; loves boys and booze and thrives on conflict; a bit of a hot mess; can cut to the bone with her words; an unlikely moral compass with great respect for the history and art of drag. (Note: In Some productions, this role also plays Jason)
Eddie (45-60 / Male / Any Ethnicity) Easily flustered and financially-desperate owner of a struggling dive bar/club in Panama City, Florida; rough around the edges, a bit of a walking ulcer, but a huge heart; he makes a bold move to bring in an even smaller drag team to try a new approach to bringing in customers.
Tracy (40-50 / Male / Any Ethnicity) - Sweet-natured southern drag queen, and drag mother to Casey; her impeccable timing, wit, and charm can disarm anyone; deeply nurturing by nature, she thrives on being a mentor, but is ruthlessly pragmatic when she needs to be; ready to find a home and build something meaningful and lasting; equal parts inspiration and desperation. Role requires dancing in heels and lip syncing.
