About

Christian St. Croix, a queer, Black playwright with working class roots, has been gaining recognition with his breakout, award-winning play “Monsters of the American Cinema.” As Los Angeles Times critic Charles McNulty noted, St. Croix brings “grit” and “capacious empathy” to the stage, with a dash of surrealism. His O’Neill Finalist “We Are the Forgotten Beasts” and the ’90s-inspired “ZACH” have drawn critical attention, the latter praised by the Seattle Times as a “nostalgic yet probing exploration of belonging.” His work has appeared at Rogue Machine Theatre, Diversionary Theatre, and ArtsWest Playhouse, and he’s received honors including the Carlo Annoni International and Dominic Orlando Playwriting Awards. A 2024 Craig Noel Awards nominee, his latest project “We Lovers” continues his exploration of slice-of-life stories salted with the fantastical.
