The Legend of Georgia McBride

Written by Matthew Lopez

May 2 to May 26, 2018

This uplifting comedy has three things folks love about Key West: an Elvis impersonator, big laughs and drag queens.

An Off-Broadway hit from last year,  Georgia McBride is about a young unemployed Elvis impersonator with a pregnant wife living in the Florida panhandle. In desperate need of cash, he fills in as a drag queen one night when one of the drag stars shows up intoxicated. The guy turns out to be a natural, and soon becomes a huge draw. The play will star our own Christopher Peterson, a renowned female impressionist with a huge international fan base.

Directed by Danny Weathers
Set Design by Michael Boyer
