Some REALLY COOL Equinox Content and a Free Fun Awards Show Screening on Sunday!
This Week at Dynasty! Jane Fonda! Edi Patterson! Sasheer Zamata! Paul Feig! Monet X Change! Nicole Byer! Paul Scheer! Jarvis Johnson! Guy Branum!
Dear Dynasty Darlings,
We may have lost an hour of sleep this weekend, but ⏰ the countdown to the Spring Equinox⏰ has begun! Just 11 more days until the Earth’s axis is tilted at 23.5 degrees. Basically it is when the planet that we all live on is its sexiest 💋 (according to People Magazine). This hot-ass Vernal Equinox is famously a time of renewal; a time to declutter, let go of all that no longer serves you, and embrace newness in your life. In other words, if the new year, the beckoning of 🔥🐴✨ The Fire Horse 🔥🐴✨, one of several recent majorly impactful full or new moons, the eclipse, or any other number of other recent astrological events haven't been the major life shifting moment for you you’ve been hoping for, you just wait. On March 20th, everything changes. For sure. So that's exciting! 😃
Another thing:
Do you have an etiquette, manners, or LIFE problem that needs advice? Write us a note with your specific issues and we'll do our best to address it in one form or another. Because since we opened Dynasty Typewriter 8 years ago (gasp!) we've learned literally everything there is to know about literally everything. And we want to impart our infinite wisdom to others. So that'sexciting! 😃
Have a great week and come to our shows at Dynasty Typewriter every single day! They are so good!! Including a FREE Awards Show Screening this Sunday hosted by Dynasty Darling GUY BRANUM! Fill out ballots, walk the floral navy carpet, grab a drink, and cheer - or jeer - the winners in real time. Bring an acceptance speech for anything you’d like to win and read it onstage during commercial breaks.That’ll be like so so fun!
Love always and forever,
VanJam

Basic Etiquette Lessons with Sludgy!
This Week at Dynasty! Tim Heidecker! Edi Patterson! Neal Brennan! Kahyun Kim! Niles Abston! Dr. Z! Dan Erickson! Misha Brown! Ultimate Improv!
Darlings,
Happy second week of 🔥🐴✨The Fire Horse! 🔥🐴✨THE FIRE HORSE: The lunar new year where, according to no less than eleven highly influential astrology influencers, everything shifts; a time where we all collectively evolve into the most powerful versions of ourselves with the potential of uplifting all of humanity. So cool! ‘Round these parts we're continuing to embrace our new horse forms, savoring our long, slender legs, our muscular backs, and our wide, protective chests; our new bodies a cathedral of sinew and breath; our flanks rippling like silk pulled tight over a secret. And all sorts of other stuff like that. This is how we are all feeling right now, correct? Like we are literal horses? Great! Glad to be on the same page! If for any reason you are not tapping into a horse transformation energy right now, we don't judge that. But we are curious to know what animal(s) you are embodying right now and how that makes you feel. Best description gets a free DynaPop on their next visit to Dynasty!
Lots of magical shows coming up at Dynasty this week, you can scroll below to see what they are and we hope you attend them all! But first....
A Message from Sludgy the Bear (Our Theater's Plumbassador)
Hi, I'm Sludgy.
You may have seen me on a poster in one of Dynasty's three gorgeous lobby bathrooms, reminding you of things like to not take big dumps(save those for your own home, if you can help it) and to not pee in our sinks. To be fair, no one has ever peed in one of our sinks to our knowledge, but best to get ahead of these things. Or maybe you've seen one of my "shignature" Shit Kits for sale in the Dynasty lobby. It's like a First Aid Kit, but for bathroom needs should you ever need to shit deep in a forest. It's a cute, well executed merch concept that we've been selling for a couple years now, and this may be the first time it's everbeen marketed. Now THAT'S The Dynasty Difference!™ Or maybe you've seen me giving life advice on one of the Dynasty Tonight! or Guano Guano shows here over the past year. In any case, I hope this finds you in a joyous place. I just had a few etiquette related things I wanted to get off my chest about how to act in the world. Things that seem so obvious, but, well, I guess they aren't. Let's dive in. 🤿
Sludgy's Etiquette Tips for Today
1. Left hand turns when you are driving: When the light turns green you roll your car up to the middle of the intersection so that the cars behind you can also make a left hand turn. And you can roll up all at once! Now that you know, not doing this moving forward is selfish.
2. On that same note, when you are in your car at a stoplight... CLOSE THE GAP. That is, you don't need 1-4 car length between you and the car in front of you. A couple feet will do! And ensure that other people can get to where they want to too. Now that you know, not doing this moving forward is selfish.
3. Maybe I'm just cranky because I didn't get a lot sleep last night because a bunch of drunk gophers were being loud outside and not being mindful of their volume well past 10pm on a weeknight, but like, don't be so loud. Like, speak your mind, be fully expressed, and all that, of course! But as a general rule, keep your mouth volume down if you're not like, performing on a stage or something.
4. Dynasty is very proud of our 4.8 out of 5 rating on Google Reviews. But every once in a while we get less than 5 stars with no explanation. How are we supposed to know how we can improve as an organization and/or how to best judge your unreasonable expectations if you don't give us feedback?! This is directed right at someone whose name rhymes with Smellin’ Bacon. It actually only rhymes with one of those words and IS the other one. Smellin’, you’re a “LOCAL GUIDE.” Can’t ya muster up a few words to help us improve our service? Or is this another one those classic Local Guide mind games? Call me Old Fashioned (the drink), but in my day a title MEANT something and one of those things was the ability to construct helpful sentences to express ideas.
Need clarification on any of these things? Hit me up! I'll happily explain in more detail.
Stay sludgin',
Sludgy
Thanks Sludgy! We totally relate! Everyone, heed these words! And come visit us soon!!
Love,
VanJam

Your Valentine's Day Plans! Plus Horse and Snake Stuff!
This Week at Dynasty! Atsuko Okatsuka! Tim Heidecker! Reggie Watts! When Harry Met Sally! Puppets! AOAOAOA Live!
Dear Dynasty Darlings,
If you're in the know (and if you read these emails from your neighborhood arts and variety venue and popcorn restaurant 🍿, YOU ARE! 😎), then you are well aware that this is the final full week in the Chinese Zodiac's YEAR OF THE WOOD SNAKE 🪵🐍.And oh, what a year it has been for us! In its mystical, if sometimes uncomfortable way, this snakey snake of a timehas been begging us to shed all our scaly skin (it's a metaphor, people!) so that we can step into the next, most powerful and creative phase of our lives. And while there's still a week to go, we can see the thin, fragile, translucent, papery skin of the past slinking off of us (still a metaphor!), and turning into strong, virile, tapering horse limbs that... echo the cadence of the wind (no longer a metaphor). Yes, we are embracing the fact that as we enter the new Chinese year, we are both becoming FIRE HORSES ❤️🔥🐴.
And guess what? You can become one too!
That's right, this week at Dynasty we have TWO invitations for you to step into your radiance. First, join us this THURSDAY to joyously say FUCK ICE, as we host a benefit show with an incredible line-up to raise money for The Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! It will be live and livestreamed, and as part of the show we will be leading a ceremony to release all the things (in the world, in our head, existential or otherwise) that might be weighing us down, so that we can show up for ourselves and others at a time in history where it seems to be needed more than ever. It will involve fish coffins 🐠⚰️ and a new kind of volcano 🌋. Plus lots of laughs! NowTHAT'S The Dynasty Difference!™

Ferry your way into Full Moon Groundhog Season on The TMS Dynasty!
This Week at Dynasty! Waiting for Guffman! Mitch Wood! Kristen Schaal! Drew Carey! Lisa Rinna! Caleb Hearon! Rachel Bloom! Varla Jean Merman!
Dearest Darlings,
Honk honnnnk! 🛳️💞 All aboard the FEBUFERRY! A short and sweet ride packed with amazing on-board entertainment. (This is all sort of… a metaphor. “On board” just means at our theater, really. And the month’s proper name is February which is a disgustingly spelled word. So we’re just calling it FebuFerry because ‘round here we go the extra kilometer to make things a little dumb and contrived and magical.) Hopefully this message finds you basking in some full moon energy, with Gopher-fueled optimism. America is a deeply flawed country, but Puxsatawney Phil is the icon we deserve. This zaftig rodent, residing in GOBBLER’S KNOB, PA has the most confusing and fucking terrifying moment of his life, once a year. (We realize that “of his life” and “once a year” contradict each other, but what Scientists™ know about gopher memory retention allows us to write this in full flarpin’ confidence. Each year this terror feels IMMENSE. Groundhog Day? More like SCARE the groundhog day. You’re juuuuust peeping your head out of your hole to go find a place to make waste and you’re met by a fucking flash mob of citizens. All because of some prophetic ability he never even claimed to have.)
Anyway! Yesterday and today are also IMBOLC which is a lil’ holiday celebrating the half way point between winter and spring- the earth is beginning to wake up and bounty may be just around the corner. AMEN.
Waiting For Guffman
In addition to the mounting pains and fears of this world, we were all so very saddened by the loss of the incomparable CATHERINE O’HARA. An absolute legend and icon to all of us. One of the most magnetic and committed actors and comics who brought pathos and layers to every single character she portrayed. SCTV, the Christopher Guest movies, Kevin’s mom, The Nightmare Before Christmas, Beetlejuice, Schitt’s Creek, The Studio, The Last Of Us, and so much more. We are so grateful for the joy she gave us, and in that spirit we’re doing a screening of WAITING FOR GUFFMAN this Saturday at 10pm.
Other Dynasty-produced shows of note: The political hellscape is getting helscapier (we’ve said versions of this almost every week for YEARS! Wow!) and we hope you’ll join us for benefit to raise money for The Immigrant Rapid Response Fund! Live and livestreamed!

❤️ And on Febuferry 14th, we’re doing a very special Valentine’s screening of When Harry Met Sally, which is honestly the perfect way to spend Valentines’ no matter your relationship status. Enjoy good company, dress up in the time period, watch a hilarious film, eat popcorn. Skip the faux-romance of restaurants who are (from what we’ve heard) notoriously raising their prices and lowering their quality on that day, and come into the loving bosom of a theater who couldn’t serve bad steak if we wanted to. Because it wouldn’t be legal for us to serve steak.
