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.”

“Exhilarating ….St. Croix has written these characters with unflinching honesty.
There’s grit in his depiction of their battered lives and capacious empathy in the way he honors their impressive resilience.”
