Playwriting – 10 Days to Play Resource

The Legend of Georgia McBride
2022-05-17 19:30 - 2022-05-21 19:30
The funny, heartwarming comedy centers on Casey, a young, broke would-be-songwriter in small-town Florida, who finds out his wife is pregnant just as he loses his job as an Elvis impersonator at the local bar. When the club-owner brings in a B-level drag show to boost attendance, Casey, desperate for cash, gets an unexpected shot at stardom- and if he truly wants to man up for his wife and child, he’d better learn how to walk comfortably in high heels.
