ANN ARBOR, MI–The Penny Seats production of The Monsters of The American Cinema is running at The Stone Chalet Theatre from April 7-22.

When his husband dies, Remy Washington, a black man, finds himself both the owner of a drive-in movie theater and a caregiver to his late husband’s straight, white teenage son, Pup. United by their love of classic American monster movies, the two have developed a warm and caring familial chemistry – but their relationship fractures when Remy discovers Pup and his friends have been bullying a gay teen at his school. It’s a haunting and humorous tale about fathers and sons, ghosts and monsters. Directed by Craig Ester; starring Scott Carpenter and Cole Dzubak. Suitable for ages 15+ (strong language, mature themes).
