Chester Theatre Group presents Auditions for Casa ValentiaBy Harvey Fierstein
Directed by George Seylaz
Nestled in the Catskills—1962 —an 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. Based on real events and infused with Fierstein’s trademark wit, this moving, insightful, and 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.
Audition Dates

April 11 - 27, 2025
Audition Instructions:
We are NOT looking for “drag” characters. We are looking for 7 men to play “women”, that is your portrayal should be that of a natural woman, not a caricature. There is no need for a higher falsetto voice.
We are looking for a difference in posture and movement when you are a “woman”. The male side is more nervous and uncomfortable. The female side is more confident and self assured. Bring your feminine mystique. We are looking for you, as a man, to embody what it means to be a woman. Welcome to the world of the self-made women.
Please bring your headshot and resume.
