Christian St. Croix's play is about a gay Black man bonding with his late husband's White son over their shared love for horror films
In San Diego-based playwright Christian St. Croix’s “Monsters of the American Cinema,” a Black man named Remy becomes the guardian of the son, Pup, that his White husband left behind when he died. The two share the grief of that loss — and a motorhome on the lot of a drive-in movie theater.
“Monsters of the American Cinema” began as a workshop piece, part of Scripps Ranch Theatre’s “Out on a Limb” new play festival in 2018. From there, St. Croix expanded his 30-minute script into an hour for the San Diego Fringe Festival in 2019, where it won the Artists’ Pick award and Cultural Exchange award. Now, fully developed, “Monsters” is coming to Diversionary Theatre in University Heights after having its world premiere in Seattle in January.
“I think Remy represents hundreds of LGBTQ parents who are raising children that were not biologically theirs or who don’t even share their race.” “I went back and watched a couple of those films and fell in love from there,” he said. “I grew up with Freddy Krueger and Jason. Looking to see what terrified people , it really didn’t take much. A moving shadow here, a monster with large horns popping out there.”
