A world premiere by “queer Black” playwright Christian St. Croix, Monsters of the American Cinema, opened Thursday night at Artswest, starring the superb actor Lamarr Legend, as Remy, a Black man with multiple levels of complexities in his life.

Sugar Plum Gary didn’t believe in Christmas until one magical Christmas Eve when Santa visited the orphanage where he grew up. He was the only survivor, becoming possessed by the holiday spirit and receiving his Christmas Name: Sugar Plum Gary. He has wandered the planet for years, searching for answers.
