Hello there Darlings!

How’s everyone feeling? Great. Us too. (We’re sure we agree with the myriad of responses this question could garner. We are usually feeling ALL the things.) Right now, the Jam half (One Mr. Wonderful Jamie Flam) is on a bit of a #spiritualquest. He can fill you in on the details when he returns, but everyone brace yourself for some REVELATIONS! And re-pihanies! We’re all excited to see what revealed itself to him! The VAN half is not on a spiritual quest, but is on a warpath against garden pests. Any hot tips to get rid of powdery mildew and aphids? LET ‘ER KNOW. She’s growing a modest urban cornfield (30 stalks) and the aphids HAVE ARRIVED. The things google suggests are being done, but if you have additional tips, bring them on. Another enemy? THIS FLARPIN’ CONFIDENT-ASS THICC SQUIRREL. He’s eating the strawberries, he’s unphased by Van charging him with a shovel, he’s… making her want to EAT A SQUIRREL which had not been a fantasy prior to this year. Van’s having moderate success encouraging the crows she feeds to divebomb the squirrels, but apparently it’s nesting season so the crows are less attentive right now and the big-tailed rat is taking FULL ADVANTAGE. Whilst the crows’ away the squirrels will prey. Anyway! In more theater related news, we are working on a line of accessories we’re sure you’ll be obsess-oried with.

Father’s Day is this Sunday!
Get the father figure in your life what they really need, Dynasty’s SHIT-KIT. This is real.

sock talk

See our full calendar here →

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!

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.

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,

Hey there you sweet, sweet Darlings!

How you been holdin’ up on these mean streets? We’ve been blessed with just a flarpin’ PLETHORA of PALATABLE PROGRAMMING, and we admit… WE LOVE IT. This weekend was especially delightful, with a three show Saturday that included a trivia game show debut (with timewarps! Warp your own time, and watch any time this week!) , a jazzy music + stand up show all the way from a state called New York (!), and a livestreamed unhinged drag show (don’t miss the madness! Available all week and worth the price just to see Meat Skeleton’s 🥵 Mary Todd Lincoln.) Don’t know about yer boxes, but that day checks a helluva lot of ours.

Sunday brought us an epic livestream of the “Naboo Movie” and our stage was graced by an epic cast including Tony Hale, Lorraine Newman, Haley Joel Osment, and Bobby Moynihan. Bobby’s Darth Maul is maybe the best thing to ever happen to the franchise? Everyone brought their A+++ game, and it was one of our favorite livestreams EVER. Miss the fun? It’s not too late! You can still get and watch the stream this week!

Speaking of magical realms and far away galaxies, this weekend VanJam went to the distant world of Ye Olde Irwindale and The ORIGINAL Renaissance Pleasure Faire. And we were PLEASED. We did NOT go in costume, but by god let this be the last year for that regret! Next year we’re goin and we’re doinnnn’ it up! And by “it” we mean smashing our breasts as high as possible. Yes, both of us. DARE YE JUDGE!? Alsoooo, every year we go to the Ren Faire we come back thinking we need to do a Ren Night at Dynasty. Not sure what it would be yet, but it would likely involve harpsichords and mead and a risqué maypole situation. Would this be something you’d be interested in? Or is this just exciting to us? Full-on dress up Ren Nights? If this sounds like something that would delight you, prithee tell us here!

Oh here's a thing! On Friday night we're doing a first edition of DYNASTY'S WORLD FAMOUS $5 MOVIE NIGHT! It's the historic and famous night we just invented where you come to Dynasty and we take a bunch of movie suggestions than decide as a group which one to watch and then we watch it! And since it's Dynasty we'll figure out a couple weird flourishes to make it more enchanting/interesting. And since it's famously only $5, everyone is a winner! Bring some friends for some low pressure fun! And what the hell, dress up Ren Faire style or Naboo style or in any costume you want. We celebrate you. And THAT'S THE DYNASTY DIFFERENCE!™

HUZZAH FOR THIS WEEK!

Ayyyyye Darlings!

How you livin’? Over here we just came off of the mostly fun chaos of the Netflix is a Joke Festival! 10 days, and roughly a gazillion shows. Hats off to our entire team for griiiiindin’ and smilin’ and making it happen, and hats off to ALL the talent who have been boppin’ around all the many many venues in LA, showin’ their stuff. It was another reminder, in a sea of reminders, how lucky we are to be surrounded by so many artists who work so hard to bring us joy, and make us think, and also help us to get real stupid. Now that the fest is over, it’s back to our regularly scheduled fest of programming! Because... “It’s always fest-season at Dynasty!” - Siskel, 1972. “I just come for the corn. I flarpin’ HATE Siskel right now. We have our ups and downs. We have our problems. But ultimately? We have chemistry. I know how invaluable that is but that doesn’t mean it always feels good. Anyway, yeah, Dynasty is great.” - Ebert, 1972.

Photo Recap: Let’s Not Die! A Yellow Dot Fundraiser

Dynasty Typewriter was proud to present an evening with Adam McKay’s Yellow Dot Studios as they combated the greatest existential threat facing humanity. Hilarious stuff! Let’s Not Die! (both the show name and a plea to fossil fuel CEOs) featured stand-up comedy, music, sketches, videos, and an interview with a real-life climate scientist. It was a hilarious – and enraging – fundraiser for Yellow Dot Studios, a non-profit media studio calling out polluters and mobilizing action on the climate emergency.

The evening featured special guests Nick Kroll, Aparna Nancherla, Sean O’Connor, Nikki Glaser, Esteban Gast, a special appearance by Adam McKay, and surprise drop-in John Mulaney.

Hi there, beautiful darlings!

April is on her way out and MAY is moving on innnn! Let’s hope allll those showers from last month pay off with some major flowers, both metaphorical and real, this month! Safe to say we’re all ready for a spiritual flarpin’ super bloom ! We had a great weekend here at the theater, with a killer Dynasty Tonight! featuring amazing performers and amazing audience members. At the top of the shows, we always use music and our bodies to kick out some woes in the room, and this week’s complaints were substantial: a very bad date involving Von’s sushi, getting laid off, and having a commencement cancelled. We got to work some 🪄 Dynasty Magyck 🪄 and give one human some high quality food to enjoy on her own terms, one human a job offer, and one human a whole flarpin’ improvised graduation on stage! It was one of those the “gift is in the giving” moments, because we (VanJam) are still riding high! And still very impressed with the graduation cap GM Missy flawlessly created between acts. Now, we encourage YOU to give yourself some gifts of enchantertainment™! Our calendar is slipping into its sweatpants, because there’s a little more to love during the Netflix Is A Joke Fest!

NETFLIX IS A JOKE is a whole dang thang, it’s taking over the city of angels and honey we’re alll up in it. We’ve got shows on shows on shows, May 2-12th! Take a look at this wild schedule and get your tickets before they’re gone baby gone.

See you several times a day!
