Theatre Casting Call for "Casa Valentina"
"Casa Valentina" 2014 American play casting actors. Please see the breakdown below. About the project: Nestled in the Catskills—1962’s land of dirty dancing and Borscht Belt comedy—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. 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 Fierstein’s 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. Additional info: Rehearsals: There will be 3-4 rehearsals per week, days/times depending on cast availability. Please bring lists of conflicts to auditions. Note on casting: All roles are open.

Ten years older than George. A resigned determined but worn earth-mother. Her love of the girls barely covers her inner sadness.

Heavier set. Willy Loman by day, Ethel Mertz at night. Quick-witted and friendly. Unaffectedly feminine. (Appears in drag only.)
Married to Rita. An insurance-salesman type as a man. Assured and charming as a woman. (Appears in and out of drag.)

A very handsome and sexually-charged chap who is accustomed to compliments, whether dressed as a male or female. (Appears in drag only.)
Sweet and gentle and slightly silly, like a favorite old auntie. (Appears in drag only.)
