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 in Catskill. Performances are Thurs–Sat at 7:00pm and Sun 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. What begins as connection grows more complicated as real-world behavior begins to echo the films they watch, and that bond starts to unravel in increasingly unsettling ways.
Set over four days in a Southern California trailer park, this intimate two-person play blends humor and tension while exploring the uneasy line between what we watch on screen and what we confront in ourselves.

Sandglass Theater presents a series of special appearances and public workshops by stellar artists working in exciting interdisciplinary performance techniques. The Summer Series celebrates the crossroads of art forms and development of new works by professional and emerging artists. This year’s series will feature three performances and two special workshops. ‘The City That Slept’ is an imaginative puppetry performance by Tom Tuke that also features an original technique developed by Tuke: floating shadow puppets that glide across a pool of moving water, creating luminous images of motion and reflection. ‘Penelope in First Person’, performed by Keely Eastley and directed by Eric Bass is adapted from a book by Canadian poet Sue Goyette. The performance reimagines the story of Penelope from Homer’s ‘Odyssey’. The production blends poetic language, theatrical storytelling, music, and elements of magical realism. ‘Death and the Fool | A Medieval Folly’, presented by the ensemble of Happenstance Theater is inspired by medieval mystery plays and tarot imagery, combining puppetry, slapstick comedy, live music, and physical theater. The workshops will include a floating water puppets workshop with Tom Tuke and a physical comedy workshop with Happenstance Theater. All performances and workshops are at Sandglass Theater, 17 Kimball Hill in the heart of Putney, VT, just off of Exit 4 from I91. No one will be turned away from Summer Series performances for lack of funds.
