Buttfur & Rat Bones XO
Dynasty Dyrlings,
Two weeks ago (“a fortnight”, for the ancient among us) we started a "WILDLY POPULAR" and "DIVISIVE!" new concept for these weekly Dynasty emails in where we share a certain number (4) of ENCHANTING THINGS. And we’ve gotten MIXED reviews on this. There were some email reviews with *EXTREMELY* HIGH PRAISE. Which we received with much humility. It’s just… who we are. ☺️ There were also SOME unsubscribes… which, one of our businesspeople (we know many) told us is “actually a compliment.” Because it implies our voice is SO pure it upsets the soulless. Well, haters are just fans we haven’t kissed yet. 💋 Or people with HORRIBLE taste. If you’re hating, it’s totally fine but also a real waste of your life force.. Four Enchanting Things, Volume III.
Enchanting Thing #1: WE HAVE A NEW TEE IN THE SHOP ✨ It’s a beautiful blue soft tee-shirt, designed and printed right here in Los Angeles. And it clearly promotes the theater by having the theater’s logo about .2 inches big at the bottom of the design. Here at Dynasty, we don’t believe that merch needs to actually be so on the nose, ya know? This shirt features the famous Dynasty morning cartoon characters, The TÁSTBÜDZ, cheerily reminding us all that after the rain comes the rainbow you slide down with your BEST popcorn-toppin’ edible friends, screaming “FLAVENTURE AWAITS!” GET IT HERE!
Enchanting Thing #2: 🦃 THIS WEDNESDAY 🦃 is Thanksgiving Eve, and what better way to celebrate than the traditional, 11th annual, HIGH & MIGHTY Thanksgiving Eve Power Hour?! 6 friends. 60 minutes. 60 shots of beer. (Woof!) JON GABRUS will be joined by: special guests, GILLI NISSIM, BETSY SODARO, IFY NWADIWE, OSCAR MONTOYA, NICK WIGER, and more! Plus: It will be livestreamed!!! Watch it ANYWHERE!
Enchanting Thing #3: 🤩 DYNASTY TONIGHT! 😮 This Saturday, with gravy still coursing through your bloodstreams, leave your leftovers behind and get thee to Dynasty for a very amazing Dynasty Tonight! Our semi-regular show/celebration of the human experience/ sometimes we give away stuff from the lost and found.

NORI REED (COMEDIANS YOU SHOULD AND WILL KNOW)
BRENT WEINBACH (DRESS UP GANG)

And music by our very nasty house band, The DyNasties!
Hosted by JAMIE FLAM, objectively one of the most wonderful people on the planet (he didn’t write this. If he DID he would lose that ranking. But maybe that’s messed up. Maybe he should know and REVEL in his wonder!? At what point does self-love become unpleasant?) (Jamie is copyediting and straight up blushing at this description and believes he is currently PLEASANTLY REVELING! Sentiment right back atcha, Vanessa!)
This may be cRaZy but if you buy a ticket for this show TODAY and get 50% off! Just use code MONDAY at check-out! Your future you will be so grateful you did it! And that’s what this whole flarpin’ season is all about! ;)
Enchanting Thing #4: 🦇 BATSHIT FRIDAY 🦇 sale starts now!?
For a short, mystic window, take a RIVETING 10% OFF items in the Dynasty Souvenir Emporium! 10% is the kind of discount that reminds you we are a small business, admits that we have a very small profit margin, and still gives you the thrill of a seductive human in a trench coat. For a limited time (now until we remember to turn discount off… probably Saturday?) Totes, hats, shirts, custom adornments, and a few miniature rat bone terrariums made with ethical child labor. (The children are IN the Dynasty family and they LOVE digging for rat bones.)
Our code writer beautifully crafted the discount word: BUTTFUR. Use it and be EMPOWERED.

THE BENSON MOVIE INTERRUPTION: YOUR CHOICE is a show where comedian Doug Benson (SUPER HIGH ME, @midnight) invites some of his comedy friends to sit in the front row of the theater with mics, cracking wise during a screening of a movie that YOU choose. That’s right, audience members are encouraged to bring a dvd/blu ray of a film they would like to see ripped apart (lovingly) and a vote will be held to determine which one we watch.
