Catskill, NY – Bridge Street Theatre presents the regional premiere of “Monsters of the American Cinema” by Christian St. Croix, directed by Tony Speciale, running May 28–June 7, 2026, in Catskill, New York.
Performances are Thursdays through Saturdays at 7:00pm and Sundays at 2:00pm. Tickets are $30 for adults and $25 for students.
After inheriting a drive-in movie theater and becoming guardian to his late husband’s teenage son, Remy—a Black, gay man—forms a fragile bond with Pup over their shared love of classic horror films. When real-world behavior begins to mirror the violence and fear of the movies they watch, that connection is tested—and begins to unravel in unsettling ways.
Set over four days in a Southern California trailer park, “Monsters of the American Cinema” is an intimate, two-person drama that blends humor with emotional tension. The play explores questions of identity, masculinity, grief, and accountability, asking what it means to confront difficult truths—and what it takes to truly see another person.
Directed by Tony Speciale, the production continues Bridge Street Theatre’s commitment to bold, actor-driven work presented in a close-up setting. The company’s 84-seat venue places audiences directly inside the story, where every shift in relationship and tone unfolds in real time.
Bridge Street Theatre is located at 44 W Bridge St in Catskill, NY, 12414.
