*QUICK INFO_

You’ll never guess who I just saw around DOWNTOWN DISTRICT! They looked exactly like LANA CONDOR but I overheard them introduce themselves as TRIXIE TRAN and say they were a TWENTY-FIVE year old CIS FEMALE that prefers SHE/HER pronouns. I think they’re an MUSICAL ACTRESS & BROADWAY COACH who has been living in the city for TWO MONTHS.

(tw: addiction, panic attack)

The spotlight was Trixie’s second home. She had lost herself to the art of becoming someone else, from her first introduction to the stage at the of eight. An experience that was heightened by having the opportunity to work alongside her mother. Having spent her formative years making a name for herself in the world of Broadway and collecting Tony awards, Winnie Tran was delighted to have a daughter who wanted to be just like mommy when she grew up. When she got word that her current production of Les Mis was in need of a new young Cosette there was no one Winnie thought could play her daughter better than her own daughter, Trixie.

She’d only done a three week run, but Trixie was obsessed. When she was eleven she began following her mom to rehearsals, and made sure to pay very close attention to the actors. Mouthing along and mimicking the hand gestures or the way their facial features would alter with certain lines of any character she could. And when she went home her work didn’t stop there. She’d ask her mom to read the specific parts to her and recite them back in different tones, and influxes of her voice; mewling them around her tongue until they felt right. At the time it was nothing more than a fun game to her parents. However, for Trixie, even without the amazed stares from a crowd, or the applause from the audience encouraging her, Trixie just knew she wanted to feel like that for her whole life.

She dove head first into the craft. The first class she signed up for in sixth grade was theater, choir was the second, and she somehow managed to arrange for the dance class to count as a P.E. credit. And though she made excelling in those three classes she didn’t let her grades slip. In her mind she was bound for the stage, and no bad grade would come in the way of it. Her parents were incredibly supportive of her aspirations. There was a joy her mother felt watching her daughter follow in her footsteps, and there wasn’t a thing her father enjoyed more than watching his little girl shine on stage. Even going as far as to let her audition for the role of Wendy Darling in Peter Pan on broadway, and they weren’t even surprised when she got it. All of Trixie’s hard work had led to a year early graduation, and an early acceptance into NYU.

Despite having two amazing experiences on Broadway, and growing up with Broadway legend that made the strip her second home; it was harder than she ever could have imagined. She came from a place where she knew her mother was one of the greats, but she didn’t know that everyone then would expect her to be just as great. She was talented, her professors and classmates gave her that, but she was in way over her head. Like most people in her class she’d been in dance classes, and singing lessons since she was a child; but because her mother was the Winnie Tran they expected her to have the experience of the Winnie Tran. She felt like she had to work five times as hard just to impress her peers, and stand out amongst the judges. Between auditions, homework, lessons, and rehearsals there didn’t seem to be enough minutes in the day. She always found herself wondering how it was everyone around her was bursting with energy, and then her roommate told her about the uppers.

It was meant to be nothing more than a temporary solution. Just something to push her through to graduation. A mantra she had told herself each time she popped a pill to get through a dance lesson, or a call back, until she stopped with the excuses all together. She didn’t graduate top of her class, but at least by the time she was done she had a name for herself. Each year she found herself in 2 musicals a year (in some cases a semester), and that’s nothing something that goes unnoticed. Everyone expected she’d be the first to make it to broadway when she left, and the off broadway productions she was lined for were mere stepping stones.

Proudly, she made it to broadway. After doing two off broadway productions, she landed the role as Regina George in Mean Girls The Musical but could only enjoy her success for a brief moment. Despite how much she wanted to give herself credit, she found herself attributing her success to the uppers she had started to use as a crutch. One night during one of her lasts shows of Mean Girls she had the misfortune of running out of the drug she relied so heavily on, and while on stage she panicked. Her first full out panic attack and she had no idea what was happening to her. She was lucky in that it hit just after the lights had been lowered, but there was enough people around for rumors to spark. And the fact that she couldn’t go on to finish the show didn’t help matters.

Eventually the news reached her mother whom she divulged everything to. However, Trixie wasn’t entirely honest. Making her addiction seem more recent than it actually was so they thought by putting her in outpatient therapy they’d have a better chance at getting a handle on it. So she continued on auditioning for new shows, faking her way through her therapy, and continuing to pop adderall whenever it all felt like she wasn’t doing enough. But her father soon found out how deep her addiction ran. At the same time she was casted in the role of Katherine Howard in Six on Broadway. To her father it was a terrible idea to let her continue, but her mother thought it to be the perfect cover story. They’d only let her do six or seven shows out of the month, and the rest of her time would be spent in Vesta, Michigan to be rehabilitated under the guise that she would be offering inexpensive Broadway coaching to future Broadway prospects.
