Hello boos!
We’re at the halfway point of October, so if you haven’t gotten your wheels spinning on a costume, honey get ON that. If it’s something you’re interested in doing. If it isn’t something you want to do PLEASE disregard the previous sentence entirely because we NEED TO STAY RELATABLE to our ENTIRE audience. "We like the things YOU like, which makes you like us!” - Jamie and Vanessa (🙂 we need therapy. 🙂)
Last week was SO likable you’d 'a loved it! We had a private event on Tuesday that featured
FATLIP from the
PHARCYDE ,
OPEN MIKE EAGLE, PETE HOLMES, and
RON FUNCHES. We were able to invite a
few Dynasty folks at the last minute (via the newsletter! remember? "There is value in the newsletter!” our version of “there’s always money in the banana stand”) and it was a great show, packed house, and it had it all: raps, laughs, and wine in Capri Sun style pouches. Aside:
Capri Sun is the most chic juice name of all time. Motts, Hi C, Juicy Juice… BABY NAMES. And then,
Capri Sun. It’s so evocative! You can smell the salt air! Feel the texture of the
cave wall in the
blue grotto. Capri Sun: it conjures the elegance of a simple silk shift dress, the luxury of a long stay in an old villa, the nostalgia of summers past and the hope of endless summers to come.
CAPRI SUN. Anyway. We also had a mind-blowing comedy and magic show (thank you
HARRISON GREENBAUM!) a two show night from Irish sketch sensations
FOIL ARMS and HOG (very sensational!) the return of Dynasty darling
CAMERON ESPOSITO, a wild horror marathon / potluck that kept us adrenaline fueled for 12 hours and the always amazing
LET’S GO ATSUKO.
This week is a really lovely one. Yes, of course, we love ALL our weeks but this week feels like a sampler platter of chef’s
favorites.
TONIGHT it’s the show that will take whatever preconceptions you have about what a crossword puzzle show might be like and DESTROYYYY THEM! It’s
ZACH SHERWIN’s
THE CROSSWORD SHOW. Three hilarious panelists (
EMILY HELLER, JANELLE JAMES, AHMED BHAROOCHA) one amazing host (hey, ZACH!) a wildly crafted puzzle, the answers to which open wormhole after wormhole resulting in an amazing, high energy, multi-media comedy show that makes you feel like a genius. (This show will have an afterparty! Get tickets to get invited!)
WEDNESDAY you know her, you love her,
SNL’s darling
MELISSA VILLASEÑOR is going to be in the house for her album release party! She’s releasing a flarpin' music album,
DREAMER, and she’s performing the album at Dynasty. We are so excited to listen and celebrate, won’t you join us?! (PS this event ALSO has an afterparty! How lucky are you!? We’re like a non-problematic
R Kelly song up in here, if such a thing existed.
WHICH IT DOESN’T. )
THURSDAY we have two delightful madmen in the house, and we’ve kept ourselves busy making a
venn diagram of where we think their audiences overlap and where they veer off, and it’s been a great exercise (in making venn diagrams.) First up at 8pm we’ve got
JUDAH FRIEDLANDER in a stop on his
Future President tour! He’ll be taking questions from the audience and putting on a one of a kind show just
for you. JUDAH: the leader we deserve. Then at 10pm it’s the triumphant return of
BRETT GELMAN (if you haven’t watched him in
FLEABAG do it right NOW.) Brett puts on shows unlike anything else- if intense comedy variety was a genre, we’d file this squarely there. Come, experience the dark magic!
FRIDAY it’s one of our favorite shows and it’s name fits in so well this month! ELIOT GLAZER’s
Haunting Renditions (spoooooky!) Eliot makes bad music reallll good by using his amazing voice, an orchestra, and some very special guests. How special!? This week he has
GEORGIA HARDSTARK (My Favorite Murder!)
DANNY PELLIGRINO (Everything Iconic) and
NICOLE BYER (Nailed It). So come and watch unfortunate songs get the redemption of a lifetime.
SATURDAY is brimming with crazy goodness from two wonderful people! At 2pm the amazing
FELICIA DAY will be here, hosting a release for her inspiring book
Embrace Your Weird (that’s like our whole thing!) and in the evening
My Crazy Ex Girlfriend’s DANNY JOLLES will be talking for about an hour. SUNDAY it’s
Everything’s Great: Halloween edition!
EVERYTHING’S….. SPOOOOOOOOKY! With JOEL KIM BOOSTER! LARA BEITX! NAOMI EKPERIGAN! GRETA TITLEMAN! And of course your terrifying hosts,
NICK KOCHER, DEMI ADEJUYIGBE and ADDIE WEYRICH.
You’ve probably heard by now about the awesome
quartreat of Halloween events we’re offering at the theater, because we told you! But this feels like the appropriate time to remind you, because we’re VERY excited about all of them. We’ve got a
Dynasty Boo-Night with a great lineup (
MARGARET CHO, REGGIE WATTS and more!) a massive
DynastyLand Halloween party with dancing and entertaining and drinks and surprises. Our first FAMILY event,
The Li’l Dynamos Halloween party with
vintage cartoons, spooky puppets, and a costume parade, and on Halloween night we’ll be screening
Young Frankenstein That’s a guaranteed TREAT folks.
Yours in harmless mischief,
Jamie and Vanessa
