Darlings,
"Whils’true the LA skies be a’ gray, perhappes the dark clouds thar be a driftin' away."
-Pyrjmÿrk Dynasty
That's a quote we just made up, adorned with old timey features. It's our PLAYFUL way of acknowledging that it's currently cold and cloudy outside, and wow has it been a heavy year so far in so many ways, but maybe by way of a combination of ✨ the cosmic energy of the universe ✨ and our own fortitude and resilience there is a 🌊 wave of good stuff coming our way. Maybe Pyrjmÿrk will go from a figment of our imagination, to a figment of YOUR imagination, until the figment sprouts and Pyrjmÿrk lives amongst us, spreading their (now signature) optimism and hilariously anachronistic spellings with thee worlde. What do you think?!
Over here, we're flarpin' sopping with excitment over it! But maybe it's just because we're coming off a big weekend of shows at Dynasty including our first Dynasty Tonight! in a couple months which was a fun, connective, magical experience where we got to play all night with some of our favorite comedians and improvise with The DyNasties and get to know the audience, and we got to end the show with an enchanting manifestation ceremony with an audience that was really there for it and down to start their week stepping into their vast powers. Or maybe it's because our GM Missy delivered her beautiful, hand made Sludgy (our plumbassador) puppet stage to the theater so that we can start bringing you all into Dynasty's magical world of puppets in the coming months! Or maybe it was Saturday night's solar eclipse 🌔, which according to the important astrology influencers in our Instagram feed was the long awaited turning of the tide of 14 years of intense personal work towards being more expressed, freer versions of ourselves! Or maybe it was last night's pull of the Princess of Wands from the Thoth tarot deck which suggests that all of our fears have been vanquished (YES!!!). Or maybe it's blind, delusional optimism in the face of impending apocalypse! lol Those are just some of our working theories. If you have any theories on a feeling of the universe opening up in a positive way, or a not so positive way, take issue with the fun quote above, or just want to share something absurd that happened to you this weekend, send us a note! We [generally] love notes! And if we find your note unreasonably mean, these 🐦🔥🐦🔥 have no problem exposing you! So, be kind! A solid general rule as it were.
We got another exciting week of shows coming up here as we usher in a new month that we're calling FAEPRIL! But more on that next week! In the meantime, a pat on all our backs for making it to the quarter mark of 2025, if barely. Wherever you are at on your healing or unraveling or time travel journey, we salute you! You are doing a good job!
Stuff about enchantment,
VanJam

👨🎨 🧐 7:30PM: CONNOR RATLIFF Presents The Acting Class
🎥 LIVE AND LIVESTREAMED 🎥 A one-person improv show disguised as an acting class, from the creator of the Dead Eyes podcast.
Professional actor (MEAN GIRLS 2024, GHOSTS, BOB'S BURGERS, JELLYSTONE, ÉTOILE) and award-winning podcaster (DEAD EYES) CONNOR RATLIFF is a classically trained performer who graduated "with honours" from the prestigious Liverpool Institute For Performing Arts over a quarter of a century ago, making his professional debut on the stage of the Royal Court Theatre in London’s West End. During that same year, he also performed at Buckingham Palace for QUEEN ELIZABETH II. In the decades that followed, he has accumulated numerous credits as a star of stage, screen and stream, appearing in multiple Netflix Original Films as well as content on CBS, NBC, FOX, TBS, Home Box Office, Amazon Prime, and the now-defunct comedy platforms, Go90 and Seeso.
But none of that matters now.
What matters now is CONNOR RATLIFF presents THE ACTING CLASS, an unending series of workshop performances where he will, before your very eyes, demonstrate what acting truly IS.
Each performance will be slightly interactive and completely improvised, with occasional opportunities for “students” in attendance to ask questions.

🎥 🙋♀️ 🍿MONDAY, 4/7,7:30PM: The Benson Movie Interruption: Your Choice is a show where comedian DOUG BENSON (SUPER HIGH ME, @midnight) invites some of his comedy friends to sit in the front row of the theater with mics, cracking wise during a screening of a movie that YOU choose.
