Georgia Mcbride Pre Reading Packet 2 Pre Reading Packet The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez THE STORY: He’s young, he’s broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he’s just found out his wife is going to have a baby. To make matters even more desperate, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator in a run-down, small-town Florida bar. When the bar owner brings in a B- level drag show to replace his act, Casey finds that he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself. EXPRESS YOURSELF DURING THE SHOW! If you've never been to a drag bar before, Town Hall Theatre has some tips for you while you watch The Legend of Georgia McBride! We don't want our drag numbers to... well, drag. We want you to know that it is OK -- and even welcome -- for you to cheer, clap and get into the music. A drag performer feeds on audience energy -- it's a two-way conversation. Because Town Hall Theatre is so intimate, you might not think this is good theatre etiquette, but during the drag numbers, it is OK to be loud and excited when the performers are lip-syncing. About the Playwright, Matthew Lopez Matthew Lopez is the author of The Whipping Man, one of the most widely produced new American plays of the last several years. The play premiered at Luna Stage in Montclair, NJ, and debuted in New York at Manhattan Theatre Club. That production was directed by Doug Hughes and starred Andre Braugher. The sold-out production extended four times, ultimately running 101 performances off-Broadway and garnering Obie and Lucille Lortel Awards. Lopez was awarded the John Gassner New Play Award from the New York Outer Critics Circle for the play. Since then, it has been received over 40 productions worldwide. Lopez's play, Somewhere, has been produced at the Old Globe, TheatreWorks in Palo Alto and most recently at Hartford Stage Company, where his play Reverberation also received its world premiere in 2015. Lopez's play, The Legend of Georgia McBride, premiered in 2015 at the Denver Theatre Center for the Performing Arts. His latest play, the two-part epic The Inheritance, premiered at the Young Vic Theatre in London 2018 and is based on E.M. Forster's novel, Howards End. This production earned eight nominations at the 2019 Olivier Awards and arrives at Broadway’s Ethel Barrymore Theatre on September 27, 2019. Lopez currently holds new play commissions from Roundabout Theatre Company, Manhattan Theatre Club, Hartford Stage, and South Coast Rep. Lopez was a staff writer on HBO’s “The Newsroom” and is currently adapting Javier Marias’ trilogy “Your Face Tomorrow” for the screen. Lopez was born in Panama City, Florida, to two public school teachers. His father, born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, is the older brother of actor Priscilla Lopez. Lopez graduated from the University of South Florida with a Bachelor’s degree in theatre performance. Outer Critics Circle Awards Nominee - 2016 - Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play Matthew Lopez, The Legend of Georgia McBride From American Theatre Magazine 2014: “Georgia McBride is more than a love letter to the chameleonic aspects of drag—it is also an affectionate look at Panama City, where Lopez grew up, and where he first came out. It was at a local gay bar that a group of drag queens took him under their wings. ‘My tutelage as a young gay man was at the hands of drag queens,’ Lopez recalls.” Susan E. Evans, Artistic Director Welcome to Cleo’s Lounge! And welcome one and all to Town Hall Theatre’s 75th Season and our 300th production, The Legend of Georgia McBride by Matthew Lopez! “Joyous.” I’ve written a slew of press releases over the years, and I think I can honestly say I’ve never once used that word to describe a show. Yet that’s the one word that comes first to my lips when asked to talk about The Legend of Georgia McBride, Matthew Lopez’s fabulously flamboyant comedy about divas and difference. It’s showtime at Cleo’s Lounge, a dilapidated, small- time club in the Florida Panhandle. Casey’s got to get a new act together fast – he’s broke and his wife just told him there’s a baby on the way. Can a young Elvis impersonator transform himself into a platform-pump-panty-hose-wearing drag queen? The Legend of Georgia McBride is an apt kick-off to THT’s 75th Season of Transformations. Casey’s transformation happens first on the outside, as he morphs from Elvis to Edith, and then within, when he literally and figuratively gets his act together. And “Georgia McBride” is born - a little bit country and a little bit rock and roll. The evolution of the play came to the playwright from a playlist he acquired from “friends of a friend.” Lopez listened to the playlist, which was chock full of country- western female vocalists like Dolly Patron and Loretta Lynn mixed with covers of Elvis Presley songs. The kernels of the story of The Legend of Georgia McBride started to gel in his mind; he felt particularly drawn to the idea of a straight man discovering the world of drag. Lopez set the story in his hometown of Panama City, Florida, a very conservative town, partly because he wanted a place where this kind of journey might be more unlikely. Midway through the play, Rexy gives an impassioned speech about what it really means to be a drag queen. It’s a pivotal and powerful moment in the play, a teachable moment for Casey. In an interview with the LA Times, playwright Lopez says: “‘Georgia McBride’ is about a group of people who don’t really fit in anywhere else. I call them my misfit toys, and they build a home together at the bar … Drag, as it’s practiced in these small Southern gay bars, enables a sense of transgression, a sense of rebellion, a sense of resistance. And it’s also a hell of a lot of fun.” And fun it is; I gently defy you to be able to watch this show without joining the party. Enjoy the celebration! Susan E. Evans, Artistic Director Katie Zeigler, Literary Consultant Be sure to join Katie, our Volunteer Literary Consultant, as she hosts our Community Literary Salon, Lit Up at Town Hall on Wednesday October 9 at 7:30 pm!

An early definition found in 1887 and cited in A Dictionary of Slang and Unconventional English (Eric Partridge, 1937) defines drag as “the petticoat or skirt used by actors when playing female parts; the drag of the dress as distinct from the non-drag of trousers.” DRAG AND GENDER IDENTITY “Drag is a type of entertainment where people dress up and perform, often in highly stylized ways. Today, many prominent drag artists are people who identify as men and present themselves in exaggeratedly feminine ways as part of their performance. While some drag queens live their lives as men outside of their drag personae, people of any gender can be drag queens. As part of their performance, many drag queens have a separate drag persona in addition to the self they live as every day. This persona will of course look different but may also have a different name and ask to be referred to by different gender pronouns. This does not mean they are transgender. Just as actors do not keep being referred to by their characters’ names after stepping offstage, drag performers do not necessarily keep the names or pronouns they use while performing.

  • Article Under Her Eye: Digital Drag As Obfuscation and Countersurveillance
    Under Her Eye: Digital Drag as Obfuscation Article and Countersurveillance Harris Kornstein New York University, USA [email protected] Abstract Among drag queens, it is common to post screenshots comically highlighting moments in which Facebook incorrectly tags their photos as one another, suggesting that drag makeup offers a unique method for confusing facial recognition algorithms. Drawing on queer, trans, and new media theories, this article considers the ways in which drag serves as a form of informational obfuscation, by adding “noise” in the form of over-the-top makeup and social media profiles that feature semi-fictional names, histories, and personal information. Further, by performing identities that are highly visible, are constantly changing, and engage complex forms of authenticity through modes of camp and realness, drag queens disrupt many common understandings about the users and uses of popular technologies, assumptions of the integrity of data, and even approaches to ensuring privacy. In this way, drag offers both a culturally specific framework for conceptualizing queer and trans responses to surveillance and a potential toolkit for avoiding, thwarting, or mitigating digital observation. Introduction When particular surveillance technologies, in their development and design, leave out some subjects and communities for optimum usage, this leaves open the possibility of reproducing existing inequalities… [But] could there be some potential in going about unknown or unremarkable, and perhaps unbothered, where CCTV, camera-enabled devices, facial recognition, and other computer vision technologies are in use? —Simone Browne, Dark Matters: On the Surveillance of Blackness (2015: 162–63) Around late 2014, I began to take note of a curious social media phenomenon: drag queens were posting screenshots to Facebook to highlight instances in which the platform’s predictive facial recognition algorithms incorrectly tagged their photos as one another.

  • The Whipping Man
    THE WHIPPING MAN PRESS HIGHLIGHTS REVIEWS ‘Whipping Man’ exposes raw nerve of surrender By James Hebert, UNION-TRIBUNE THEATER CRITIC Saturday, May 15, 2010 at 12:04 a.m. / Craig Schwartz As wounded Confederate soldier Caleb, whose leg is amputated in the first scene, Mark J. Sullivan performs much of his role lying prone in “The Whipping Man” at The Old Globe. DETAILS “The Whipping Man” Old Globe Theatre When: Tuesdays-Wednesdays, 7 p.m.; Thursdays-Fridays, 8 p.m.; Saturdays, 2 and 8 p.m.; Sundays, 2 and 7 p.m., through June 13. Where: Old Globe’s Sheryl and Harvey White Theatre, Balboa Park Tickets: $29-$62 Phone: (619) 234-5623 Online: TheOldGlobe.org Moses freed the Israelites in Egypt. Lincoln liberated the Southern slaves. It might take a heavenly host of prophets and presidents to emancipate the hearts of those in “The Whipping Man.” Matthew Lopez’s affecting, suspenseful and at times searing play strips the skin off such lofty ideas as freedom and honor to peer at the raw nerves underneath, and lay bare the cost paid for such lofty notions. As directed with a spare intensity by Giovanna Sardelli for the Old Globe Theatre (in a West Coast premiere), the work’s sense of the visceral sometimes gets close to literal. In the very first scene, a Confederate casualty has his festering leg amputated amid the ruins of a once-grand Virginia plantation. When the soldier’s former slave, now savior, puts down the saw to sop up the blood, the sound of a soaked rag wrung into a bucket is its own grisly hymn to misery and perseverance.
