AMERICAN EXPERIENCE: Casa Susanna

Wednesday, July 23, 2025 at 8 p.m. on KPBS 2 / Stream now with the PBS app. In the 1950s and 60s, when failure to wear gender-appropriate clothing was illegal across most of the country, a community of cross-dressing men found refuge at a modest house in the Catskills region of New York. Named after its matriarch, Casa Susanna provided community and validation for its guests.
