Casa Valentina at Twilight Theater Company

Nestled in the Catskills1962s land of dirty dancing and Borscht Belt comedyan inconspicuous bungalow colony catered to a very special clientele: heterosexual men who delighted in dressing and acting as women. These white-collar professionals would discreetly escape their families to spend their weekends safely inhabiting their chosen female alter-egos. But given the opportunity to share their secret lives with the world, the members of this sorority had to decide whether the freedom gained by openness was worth the risk of personal ruin. Based on real events and infused with Fiersteins trademark wit, this moving, insightful, and delightfully entertaining work offers a glimpse into the lives of a group of self-made women as they search for acceptance and happiness in their very own Garden of Eden.
