MONSTERS OF THE AMERICAN CINEMA
by Christian St. Croix
REGIONAL PREMIERE
October 31 to December 7, 2025
SYNOPSIS
Remy Washington, a Black man and widower, has inherited both a drive-in movie theater and the responsibility of raising Pup, his late husband’s straight, white teenage son. The two forge a strong bond around a shared love of classic American monster movies, but when Remy discovers that Pup has been tormenting a gay classmate, their relationship begins to fracture, and the real horrors surface.
​
Beneath the flickering glow of the drive-in screen, MONSTERS OF THE AMERICAN CINEMA becomes a haunting, funny, and unexpectedly tender tale of fatherhood and loss that the Los Angeles Times hails as “exhilarating.”
​
Content Note: Adult language, homophobic and racial slurs, mentions of substance abuse and overdose, haze, strobe lighting effects, and loud sounds.
