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.
