HAPPY NOVEM-PURR!
😻 HAPPY NOVEM-PURR! These cats were never in the bag in the first place. 🐈 Featuring Tig Notaro, Marc Maron, Jason Sudeikis, Monét X Change, Nicole Byer, Jeff Ross, Jack Quaid, Smosh & MORE! A Fancy Feast of comedy, improv, music, musicals, drag, film & theatrical hairballs.
Most Dearest Darlings,
HAPPY NOVEMBER! Exqueeze me, happy NOVEM-PURR! 🐈
An exhaustive search conducted by our marketing team revealed that PEOPLE LIKE CATS. Not ALL people, but MANY. And it’s an audience we’ve never FULLY pandered to! Until NOW!
So, cat lovers, eat your heart out all month long. And by “eat your heart out,” basically we mean, take a moment of joy from this adorable poster Designer Dan™ whipped up, and let your soul nibble the kibbles of enchantertainment we’re serving up in the Fancy Feast cup that is our stage. MEOW!
Today has the distinction of being JAMIE FLAM, Dynasty Proprietor’s, 50th BIRTHDAY! Age ain’t nothing but a number, and that number is 50. WOW!
We celebrated yesterday with a party at the theater that was part hostage situation, part hostage celebration, as Jamie gathered his nearest and dearest and invited us to take a joyride down memory lane. It was a beautiful night complete with puppets and kids and food and music and love love love. It’s so annoying/embarrassing/basic but… LOVE really is the whole damn thing. ❤️
Speaking of love, DON’T FORGET TO VOTE. INFORMED VOTING is my love language! (← New shirt idea.)
We have a really bonkers start to Novem-Purr this week at Dynasty, with MASSIVEstars of screen and stage and the World Wide Web! (P.S. Sorry, Pitbull, but the net was the original Mr. Worldwide!)
Claws, 🐾
VanJam
PS: Tomorrow we leave for Berlin, Prague, and Vienna next month for a few days! ✈️ Got any tips for especially enchanting things two LA-based theater proprietors should check out while we’re there??

Dear Dynasty Darlings,
Happy 🧦SOCKTOBER🧦 from Dynasty Typewriter! 🧦SOCKTOBER🧦is like October, but more outwardly sock puppet-y! Only at Dynasty, are we right? It's like, we're so FUNKY! :)
But think about this for a second... imagine being a sock.🧦Your sole (literal!) purpose is to cover a foot. You don't really even have a self, you are just part of a PAIR that was designed to cover a potentially stinky foot, and go into a potentially stinky shoe, and then thrown into a HAMPER! (hamper: cute word!) Then, next thing you know, someone grabs you and a hot glue gun and gives you features and senses and yarny-ass hair and a PERSONALITY! And now, instead of a foot going inside your body, you got a hand, a historically more prized/less stinky/more expressive phalange, jammed up in ya to delight others. And you LOVE IT!
Now, let's take this metaphor and apply it to THIS MONTH OF YOUR LIFE (SOCKTOBER/OCTOBER). The month is the sock. Your actions and behaviors and nightlife choices are the googly eyes and yarny-ass hair. And you can manipulate it for joy and expression! And perk alert: it's easy to pack! Other puppets can be bulky and unwieldy and require multiple puppeteers and years of training. No thank you! With these guys you can easily throw it into your carry-on with a KIND BAR (fishing for a sponsorship - we KNOW you are watching KIND BAR MARKETING BOTS), and away you go. ✈️
What we're trying to say is: come to Dynasty for all of our shows in 🧦SOCKTOBER🧦. You're gonna LOVE IT!
LOVE IT!
VanJam

Photo Recap: Mountain Time Live!
The offseason arrived at Dynasty Typewriter as Sasquatch premiered Mountain Time Live, an all-new live show starring Jack Quaid, Danny Jolles, and Nick Williams.
The offseason arrived at Dynasty Typewriter as Sasquatch premiered Mountain Time Live, an all-new live show set in the fictional mountain town of Jenkins, Colorado. Jack Quaid, Danny Jolles, and Nick Williams brought the town to life as Dale, Irwin, and Cooper, delivering local news, neighborhood gossip, missing cat bulletins, and plenty of absurd small-town happenings.
Marking Sasquatch’s first new live show concept in years, the evening introduced audiences to the quieter—but no less ridiculous—side of Jenkins, where the ski crowds have disappeared but the stories are just getting started.

This Week at Dynasty! DRUNK HAMILTON! COLLIDER LADIES NIGHT! JURY DUTY/COMPANY RETREAT! JAMIE LEE! KEVIN MCDONALD! MORE!
Good afternoon GoodDarlings,
Did you go buck wild on yesterday’s Summer Solstice? It’s finally summer, speaking astronomically. Meteorogically, on the other hand, it’s the middle of summer. We’d love to lean one way or the other, but we’ve been at too many courtside meteorologist v. astronomer games to think there’s a consensus coming our way any time soon. Whichever side of the aisle you’re on, it’s at least FIRMLY bikini season now, THANK FLARPIN’ GOD. Strings, triangles, halters, french cut, high waisted, ruched, it’s never too late to find Your BikiniStyle™ and both sensationalize andnormalize your human body at your workplace. People got a problem with it! GROW UP! 👙
We write you as our fleshed, tanned buns get goosepimples at this very air conditioned Starbucks Reserve, where we do some of our best thinking. Where do you do your best BikiniThinking?
Now, time to throw on a two-person big t-shirt and make our way to the theater, the one place we DON’T wear our bikinis, ironically. We find it distracts patrons who start seeing us as delectable humanoid meat slices instead of respectable humanoid proprietors. We, respectably, have a delightful summer of shows for you to soak up, and we’d like to tell you more about them. Which we’ll do just riiiight down there ⬇️.
Lovingly,
VanJam
