During the summer of 1962 mainstream society had very little room for any behavior considered out of the norm. These were still the days that men were to behave “like men”, and nobody was to be outrageous (except Jerry Lewis). But, if you were a man who dressed in women’s clothes, there were few opportunities for finding community, let alone understanding. It is in this “ancient” society that George and Rita have built a refuge in the Catskills for men to express their true selves; where George can rule the roost as Valentina: a house bursting with music, conversation, and conviviality. Yet, the bonds of the community are severely strained when a leader for a national “Sorority” movement comes to the Catskills to recruit them. But joining this Sorority might cost them more than they’re willing to pay: their anonymity, their friends, and fundamentally perhaps, a piece of themselves. In Casa Valentina, we find that there are no easy answers, no perfect havens, no painless choices and that the “only way out, is through”.

2022-23 Season!
