Dear sweet darlings,
We hope last week’s holiday brought you friends, family, food and
napping opportunities BEYOND YOUR WILDEST NAP DREAMS! (What
IS your wildest nap dream? Ours involves a contained fire at the center of a crystal cave, a floor covered in
deep pillows and draped in
realistic faux fur. The smells of
savory food roasting and the sound of ice cream
slowly churning in a nearby cavern. Large, scentless, wooly animals sleep around us, the heave and ho of their
taut sleepy tummies inhale and exhale is absolutely ADORABLE to look at as we drift off. A beautiful
blind harpist (because who wants to be watched when you’re napping!?) is in a far corner of the cave plucking low chords which echo endlessly through the underground. Reply to this newsie with your
#napfantasy OR illustrate ours for a chance to win
A BIG PRIZE. Really!) We had a blissful time off, and then a blissful time BACK with Saturday’s
DYNASTY TONIGHT with a wonderful line-up of some of our very favorite folks including an incredibly in-the-moment
Brett Gelman, the always on
Debra DiGiovONni and
Randy melt-your-face-from-smiling Feltface. AND Jamie and Vanessa kicked the whole night off with a TRUE STORY from the theater’s history about legendary a
BellPop with dreams of dance,
Skrembish O’Ceasar. THERE WAS (brace yourselves)
PARANORMAL TAPPING ACTIVITY. And, unless you were there, you missed it. Sure, that last sentence seems obvious
but we’re really trying to drive home the feeling and reminder that events that happen within the Dynasty walls are
magical and fleeting and special! Come, be in the room with us!
THIS WEEK! Last night was the
FINAL Harmontown. Between the tears and cold-season, there wasn’t a dry-eye in the house. We had a streaming party and afterparty at neighboring
La Fonda and it hurts to say goodbye, but in the classic duality of life, it’s also FUN to say goodbye because it’s a party?
TONIGHT we’re SO excited to welcome two legendary (BUT STILL YOUNG ok?!) improvisors
STEPHANIE COURTNEY (Flo rom Progressive! Beloved
Groundling!) and
MITCH SILPA (He’s in so many things you love, his David Blaine is better than David Blaine, and he’s also a beloved
Groundling) are coming together for
Broadway Babies: Our Final Act! They’ll be playing two elderly actors who have performed together for years in different Broadway shows. Come and be DE-flarpin’-lighted.
WEDNESDAY, Dynasty fav
STEPH TOLEV is debuting her one woman show
I’ve Always Been Fucked and we cannot waiiiit. Old home videos? Characters? Stories? Steph!? It’s got them ALL! Plus she’s an
EXOTIC CANADIAN (Awwooooga!) Then at 10pm it’s your favorite late-night morning show for queer creatures of the night,
Good Morning, I Just Woke Up! Your host
ANITA TENSION will be interviewing and entertaining, with a line-up including Dragula winner
BIQTCH PUDDIN’,
BARBAFELLA, JIAVANI LINAYAO and more. Honestly if those names don’t get you… honey, you’re a lost cause.
Find yourself at Dynasty.
THURSDAY we are thrilled to have
MICHELLE BUTEAU (Adulting, Always Be My Maybe) joining us for TWO shows! They’re both sold-out, which yet another example of the duality of life: great for us, but also sad for us because there are no more seats to give! Jeez, life! Pick a lane!
FRIDAY TOPHER GRACE (That 70s Show!, Venom himself!) is in the house and it’s going to get mildly out of control with his
Minor Adventures! This installment will include guests
NATASHA LEGGERO and
MOSHE KASHER. TOPHER will take MOSHE and NATASHA on a small adventure that they’ll be totally unprepared for. PLUS musical guest
HENRY HALL!
THIS SATURDAY… will they? Won’t they? Who’ll inherit the thing when EVERYTHING is on the line? It’s the SEASON FINALE of
GO DAY! our monthly (FREE!) event hosted by
JAMIE and
VANESSA and designed to enchant, inspire, and excite you with some creative chutzpah to propel you into the month ahead!
THIS IS THE LAST GO DAY of 2019! The line-up includes:
BRENT FORRESTER! A dance session with
ATSUKO OKATSUKA and an interview with THE ONE AND ONLY
RANDY FELTFACE! And SO MUCH MORE! JOIN US! Pweeeeeze? (Insert cute, begging puppy gif! lol!)
SATURDAY NIGHT at 7:30 it’s the
Almost 30 Podcast: LIVE! Humor, friendship, wellness? This podcast has ‘em all! Then at 10pm it’s
The Underculture with JAMES ADOMIAN! Brought to us by
Forever Dog and of course by the minds and imaginations of James and his very talented friends. Come to the show and see an even MORE surreal version of the times we live in. But this will be ha-ha funny instead of AHHH AHHHH funny. Much better.
SUNDAY she’s unstoppable, so don’t even try. Just get with the times and scream
Let’s Go Atsuko! ATSUKO OKATSUKA hosts the hands-down best woke Japanese game show in the world, and this week she’ll be joined by
MARGARET CHO, PAUL W. DOWNS, ERIN GIBSON, and
BLAIR SOCCI. See you then, loves! Then
MONDAY at 7pm, we’re gonna keep those gameshow vibes vibing. Grab your sciency-est friends (Fun fact: ROSS was the sciency-est friend on FRIENDS) and come on down to the Dynasty to see science-themed comedy panel quiz show,
QUIZ-O-TRON! With Venture Brothers'
Hal Lublin, physics writer
Jennifer Ouellette, volcanologist
Jess Phoenix, Star Wars crafter
Bonnie Burton, and
Joseph Scrimshaw of RiffTrax and hosted by
Rebecca Watson of Skepchick! It’s geek culture (? maybe?) meets chic culture (why not?!) in this comedy science show down FOR THE AGES.
Loving yous,
Jamie & Vanessa
