THE LEGEND OF GEORGIA MCBRIDE

Director, Artistic Director: Rick Bumgardner

Playwright: Matthew Lopez

Production Year: 2024
Location: Roxy’s Downtown, Wichita

It’s the story of an Elvis impersonator in the panhandle of Florida who goes home after a show (for 7 patrons) to find out he’s bounced the rent check by using his debit card to buy a Pizza Hut pizza, his wife Jo is pregnant, and the landlords are knocking at the door. Upon his return the next day to let the club owner know he’s gonna need to pick up a few more shifts, he discovers the owner has decided to go a little different direction and Casey finds himself dragged into impersonating someone else - a drag queen named Georgia McBride - if he wants to support his wife and new child on the way. The New York Times called it an “irresistible crowd-pleaser." Chasing buzzy themes of identity and transformation, GEORGIA MCBRIDE is by turns sweet and salty and deceptively deep.

Rick's Curriculum Vitae
Beautiful abstract background with peacock feathers. Multicolored natural banner with a bird's tail. Bright plumage close-up

Peacocks symbolize confidence, protection, vision, mystery, renewal, and transformation. I am inspired by their fierce spirit and glamorous flair.

I carry big peacock energy.
