Hello there Darrrrlings!
Happy Tuesday masquerading as Monday! Speaking of Mondays, can you BELIEVE the Garfield film (née, The Garfield Movie) is out performing Furiosa?! We’re absolutely furious-a about it! But, we’ll get over it. And you know what? Chris Pratt NEEDED a win. We’re all about struggling artists. Here ends our “pop culture commentary segment.” Hope you loved it. Smash that like button, freaks!
We had a lovely long weekend just packed n’ pumpin’ with shows, including a Dynasty Tonight! which kept true to our trajectory of getting stranger and stranger. We debuted a new game, OPTICAL DELUSIONS in which unbelievably lucky audience members won FREE sunglasses and readers from our *world famous* lost and found. (Giving is the greatest gift of all 🥹) We’ve got another delightful Dynasty Tonight! this Saturday, you should totally come! Crazy lineup (Lizzy Cooperman, Sandy Honig, Jena Friedman, Arden Myrin! It’s always ladies’ night at Dynasty! ) join us and we can promise to provide: LIVE MUSIC. LAUGHTER. POPCORN. MAJOR PERSONAL BREAKTHROUGHS. AND GIVEAWAYS of something we buy OR find.
Ok, we’re about to get into the week, but first a little *world famous* #SockTalk 🧦. The people writing this letter are not elder millennials/Xennials. We are very very young. Honestly we were born so recently it’s SHOCKING and IMPRESSIVE we can even type. But, it’s come to our attention that Generation Z is coming for the socks of their elders. This weekend we learned that the classic ankle sock is now... eschewed. We urge everyone everywhere to be kind about sock choices, socks are PERSONAL. We said nothing when they came for the skinny jeans. We understood when they made fun of the camera-lag older people do when they make a video. But if we don’t speak out on this, IT WOULDN’T BE RIGHT. We understand every generation needs to stake a claim and carve a path, but… socks? Sure, the whole “Ok, Boomer” thing wasn’t/isn’t kind either, but many boomers (#notallboomers) were emotionally unavailable and worse to the younger generation, bought houses for what we pay for a month’s rent, and had the beauty of a college education actually getting them a job. This is something to complain about! (Not that it’s their fault. Everyone/many people are doing their best.) But we beg of you, leave people’s socks alone. Also, if you know cool socks that could replace ankle socks (no reason) please let us know. Addendum! One of us recently joined a gym (to maximize our youth) and just this morning we spotted a person wearing ankle socks that looked like they were in the know! So maybe it's not a thing at all? We're definitely not losing sleep over this! Anyhoo!

LOW TICKET WARNING After a sold out pre-pandemic run LA’s boldest baldest musical is back with a vengeance and a revamped second act. New songs! New dances! Same dumb premise! Come watch your favorite car-driving gang members battle their greatest foe yet– singing and dancing at the same time. In this unauthorized parody that is in no way connected to the very profitable Universal property, Dominic Toretto and his team (The Rock, Tyrese, Michelle Rodriguez, and Ludacris) do what they do best: commit crimes. And what they do second best: solve crimes. And what they do third best: harmonize.
If you want to watch one of the films to prepare, we suggest ALL OF THEM *but actually the 8th movie, The Fate of the Furious.

🧹 SUNDAY, 6/2, 7:30PM: JOSH THOMAS: Let’s Tidy Up
LOW TICKET WARNING
This is a show where Josh tidies up.
Tidying up is not normally the stuff of gripping drama, it wouldn’t be a propulsive narrative for most people but for Josh it’s Everest, a fundamentally impossible task, like trying to defy the moon and control the tides.
Josh’s brain has managed to make him the author and star of hit TV shows (Please Like Me, Everything’s Gonna Be Okay), in this show he tries to work out how to do the small stuff.
Written with award winning playwright, LALLY KATZ
In youthful ecstasy,
VanJam
