JET Theatre makes a grand exit from its longtime
home at the Aaron DeRoy Theatre with its last

Valentina tells of the resort’s guests, often-mar-
ried cross-dressing men escaping the repressive
world of the times for a weekend in private to live
as women. The fictionalized Tony-nominated play
by Harvey Fierstein is based on real-life Casa Susanna, a Pennsylvania resort owned by Tito Valenti,
also a regular columnist for the magazine Transvestia, where he wrote: “Let us, for heaven’s sake, strive
to forge a nice, clean-cut, real person out of ‘the girl within.’ Let’s give her a personality of her own.”
Directed by Harold Jurkiewicz. $16-$44. Jettheatre.org.
