Breakdown

WACO BOY CLUB

Synopsis: Cosmo, Strider, and Phantom are chicken salad aficionados, King of the Hill cosplayers, childhood (more than?) friends, but mostly—they are all each other's got. The relationships of these three warp in the heat of their Texas garage in Waco Boy Club, a part-seance, part-two step coming of age play.

SEEKING:

[COSMO] Transgender Man; 18 to 30 years old; any ethnicity. Cosmo: (they/he) the leader of the group, is the most comfortable in their transness as well as the most comfortable talking to ghosts. He is in charge of making the chicken salad.

[STRIDER] Transgender Man, Nonbinary; 18 to 30 years old; any ethnicity. Strider: (they) the personality hire—keeps everyone laughing and is in charge of putting the chicken salad into the sandwiches. Is most likely a transgender boy but doesn’t like to buy into the “nonbinary as a rest stop to something else” pipeline.

[PHANTOM] Transgender Man, Nonbinary; 18 to 30 years old; any ethnicity. Phantom: (any pronouns) head in the clouds but not in an ignorant way. Very into your horoscope. Very beautiful in a museum kind of way. In charge of music.
