Darlin's,
Does anyone else in Los Angeles live in a place without A/C? We salute you in these most sweaty of days, when the late afternoon hours become unbearable, laundry is a constant, and run of the mill doom scrolling becomes.... wetter. Look, just trying to connect with you here. If you DO have A/C and have no empathy, let's try connect on something else. Like, I don't know, how about SPORTS! The Olympics are coming up in Paris and NBA Summer League has been off the chain. Right?!
At this point we gotta be connected, right? Still no? Ok, how about this: On my way home from the theater last week I was at a light waiting to make a left hand turn onto Temple off of Rampart (hoping this specificity adds credibility and connectability). The left hand turn arrow there is notoriously short and the arrow becomes red after that so if you don't make it you gotta wait a whole new cycle and who has the time for that?! There were three cars in front of me, which bodes well for making the light. That is if everyone is ready to go. But I clocked that the car in front of me had a full car length and a half between them and the car in front of them (unacceptable!) which told me that this person did not have their head in the game. As we like to say here at Dynasty when it comes to waiting at stoplights, "FILL THE GAP!" When the arrow turned green the car not only didn't fill the gap, it didn't move at all for a good 7 seconds. Which elicited a light tap on my horn (which truly is only used sparingly for situations like this! We are not a serial honker, promise!) and then of course, we know what happens next: This non-gap filling motherflarper made the light, but I was left having to wait there for the next full cycle. I refuse to play the victim card as I know we're all humans just trying to make sense of this existence, and who knows what anyone is going through at any given point that affects their focus and this didn't appear to be a personal attack. That said, if YOU think that we are victims of poor drivers or if you think that you are a bad driver and want to apologize, we're here for it. Send us an email venting your own driving frustrations or tips you use to stay sane on these LA streets! Or any streets really!
Now that we are no doubt fully connected: We got another magical week of fun stuff at Dynasty! Including an exciting burlesque show, the return of Lovett or Leave It, two amazing improv shows, and our final Dynasty Tonight! of the season this Saturday! Join us, please!! A/C always set at a cool 69 degrees (really)!
Love,
VanJam

Dynasty Tonight! is a Dynasty entertainment tradition over 300 years young.

The location has changed (from a bat-ruled cave on a secret island to a historic theater in the heart of Los Angeles) but the spirit remains: Dynasty Tonight! is a celebration of the human experience, human expression, human connection, and out-of-this worrrrlllld popcorn.

Brooklyn comedian JOSH SHARP (a24’s Dicks: The Musical, Ziwe, Search Party, plus many other esteemed under fives) does a new show where he performs an hour of stand up while he clicks through 1000+ slides. Expect jokes and story-telling alongside the herculean feat of stupidity that is memorizing a cue roughly every 3 seconds. Basically a one man show that’s also a magic trick. Funny. Dumb. Manic. Erudite. A little sad. Funny. DUMB.
Featuring opener NICOLE BYER.
