About
The Legend of Georgia McBride –
Casey is young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he just found out his wife is going to have a baby. Making things worse, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator at run-down, sink-hole Florida bar and replaced by a B-level drag show, but when one of the queens can’t go on, Casey steps into the spotlight.Â

As we are a place of community gathering and artistic excellence, we will be following the AEA guidelines for our productions, and have chosen to produce our shows as a fully vaccinated adult company. By fully vaccinated, we mean that adults will be two weeks post second vaccination (or Johnson & Johnson vaccine) by the start of rehearsals. As a result, we will only be offering roles to adults who are vaccinated or who plan / are willing to be vaccinated before the start of rehearsals. Medical exemption information is included below.
For audition purposes –
1) If you have not been fully vaccinated at the time of the auditions – but are willing / intend to be vaccinated if cast – you can submit your callback sides via video submission 1b) If you are unvaccinated due to health reasons, you can submit you’re audition sides via video submission along with medical certification of the exemption. If cast under the exemption, the expectation will be to test weekly and provide a negative test at the start of the rehearsal week each week.
2) If you are fully vaccinated by the time of the audition date, please bring your vaccination card (or photo of card) with you and present it at the time of check-in.
2b) Â If you are vaccinated but out-of-town and cannot make this auditions, please send a video of your sides along with proof of vaccination.
