🕯️ Secondly! Spend your HALLOWEEKEND at Dynasty! Shows! Screenings! Seances! We’re so excited to get weird with you. Please join us. 🕯️
And nowly, this:
TONIGHT! MONDAY, 7:30PM: Zilot & Other Important Rhymes Book Release!
About the Book:
Emmy Award-winning and New York Times bestselling writer, comedian, and actor BOB ODENKIRK and his daughter, illustrator ERIN ODENKIRK, present poetic nonsense for all ages perfect for fans of Shel Silverstein and Jack Prelutsky!
Bob Odenkirk began writing these poems with his children when they were little, compiling the poetry into a homemade book entitled Olde Time Rhymes. He wanted Nate and Erin to understand that actual people had written the books the family loved to read and to instill in them the feeling that they could be writers and illustrators themselves. Almost twenty years later, when the Odenkirks found themselves quarantined under the same roof, they revisited these mostly silly, sometimes poignant works. It wasn't until Erin began to create illustrations to accompany the words, though, that the book grew to be something much bigger than an Odenkirk family treasure.
About the Authors:
Bob Odenkirk is known for acting (Breaking Bad, Better Call Saul, the new AMC series Lucky Hank, and feature films like Greta Gerwig’s Little Women) and for writing lots of comedy sketches for TV shows (Saturday Night Live and Mr. Show with Bob and David). In fact, he’s been writing silly stuff his whole life because he sees the world as a mostly funny, pretty ridiculous place. Bob’s other books include A Load of Hooey, a collection of comedic essays, and Comedy Comedy Comedy Drama, his instant New York Times bestselling memoir, but Zilot & Other Important Rhymes is the thing he's most proud of in this world. His greatest wish is that you laugh today and he'd very much like to help make that happen.
Erin Odenkirk has been creating art as long as she can remember, having first found inspiration in drawing real and made-up animals. Now a graduate of Pratt Institute, she lives in Brooklyn, New York with a lot of pencils and one bunny. Erin hopes Zilot & Other Important Rhymes makes you chuckle, maybe even chortle, but mostly she hopes it inspires you to go make something “important.”

JENNY YANG is the host with the absolute most and every show features comedians, celebrities and wellness experts ready to test their knowledge of the latest wellness trends and reveal their own self-care obsessions. It’s like if Lovett or Leave It and @ midnight made a baby that was obsessed with wellness and lymph node massages–but also cared about the cultures and origins of these splashy trends.
Self-care already felt competitive. We just made our anxieties into a show.

7:30PM: Townland n’ Mallwalkin. Come spend an easy evenin’ Mallwalkin’ ’n’ Townlandin’. Apostrophe overuse aside, this promises to be a banner night as MARK MCCONVILLE and MATT GOURLEY present the first ever improvised Mallwalk, live without a mall! Then, Townland takes to their instruments in what may be their final performance for quite some time. Shannon and Wade are off to Texas for good and though one wouldn’t say this is the end of Townland, it may be the beginning of a long winter’s nap — who knows when next they’ll wake. To make this even more must-see, there will be very special guests, including PAUL F. TOMPKINS, ANDY DALY, and an assortment of top-notch musicians. Come one, come all!

Come see drag queens get stranded at a Catholic Church, a husband take his wife to court to prove she is a witch, a sorority girl reveal a dark secret, a yoga class’s inner thoughts, and much, much more!

Vintage spooky comic books come to life on stage!

Dynasty Typewriter will transform into the Theater of Mystery, featuring live readings of spine-tingling comic book stories, projections, live music, a little magic and haunting songs from our ethereal chanteuse. The "Tales from the Crypt" title began as a delightfully demented and shocking comic book series in the early 1950's, inspiring generations of horror writers and filmmakers. Captured Aural Phantasy Theater is the only group in the world authorized to perform these, and sister titles like "Weird Science," live! Don't miss the only chance you'll get to see "Tales from the Crypt" on stage this Halloween season.
