Darlings,
Happy this week! Hopefully you are happy and fulfilled and zingy and springy, DESPITE THE FLARPIN’ BOOL SHUP (bullshit) of this weather! No one wants to hear anyone complain about the weather, much less READ someone complaining about the weather so we’ll stop. But just know we’re glaring at the sky, waving our rent checks, screaming, “surely there’s been some mistake.”
Ok, this is A GOOD 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY WEEK AT DYNASTY. Like f’real. Whether they know it or not (don't worry, most of them know.), all this week's shows are part of our week long Quinquennial Celebration! Not only are we blessed with a bounty of dreamy programming, we have also soft-opened The Dynasty Souvenir Shoppe in the theater! It is known as The Dynasty Wylds Souvenir Emporium & Fashion Galleria! We put up fancy wallpaper, vintage furniture, rat bones... you know, THE WHOLE 9 YARDS! Like the movie! And guess what? We got NEW HOT SHIRTZ! These *LIMITED EDITION* QUINQUENNIAL shirts that celebrate our first five years are a beautiful, sleek, addition to any wardrobe! Dress it up with heels and ethical diamonds! Dress it down with shit-covered sneakers! These babies were printed right here in LA, and the gorgeous illustration has many little Dynasty (nondenominational) easter eggs within.
Now, for this week’s programming:
TONIGHT! MONDAY 7:30PM! REGGIE WATTS will be joining us for Inflatable Planet! THERE ARE BALLOONS EVERYWHERE AND IT LOOKS SO EFF GOOD. It’s a show, it’s a book release, it’s got MUSIC it’s got a balloon fashion show! It’s got live balloon twisting. It’s a “rolling investigation into the nature of joy and laughter.” Honestly… if that line of description ain’t ticklin’ ya, this may not be the newsletter for you.
TOMORROW! TUESDAY 7:30 PM: Netflix is a Joke presents: Are You Still Listening? Everyone’s favorite streaming underdog, NETFLIX has taken it upon themselves to GIVE the people comedy. Literally.

10:30PM: Missi and Pissi Save the World: The world is in chaos with drag bans, trans bans, and threats to women’s rights, what’s a girl and her drag queen to do? Actress MISSI PYLE ( Galaxy Quest, Dodgeball, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and MORE!) and drag queen PISSI MYLES, when faced with JUST THIS QUESTION, realized that their only options were to do a high dive off of a high bridge, or brush off their knees, pull the gum out of their hair, and save the world themselves with comedy, music, and audience play. It is your civic duty to attend this show and save America from impending doom!
