Monsters of the American Cinema by Christian St. Croix.
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 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.”
Nix and Jude have been on the road as The Magi for eight years — and have shared nearly all of that time together, falling in love after seven years and eleven months.

Equal parts festive concert, tender love story, and deliciously awkward moments — get ready for an evening as real as it is heartwarming.
