Dear Dynasty Darlings,
As you likely already know, today is a very special Monday. It's the Monday of the iconic ✨7/7/7 PORTAL✨! For those of you not in the know, the 7/7/7 Portal (because July 7th and 25 adds up to 7, duh) is a portal that is widely regarded as a powerful energetic gateway, resonating with high-frequency vibrations, making it a profound opportunity for spiritual awakening. SCORE! Even Garfield himself, who notoriously hated Mondays, would have to agree that today is special.
And yes, we are talking about former U.S. president James A. Garfield. While we can't say whether or not he had a strong connection to the realm of spirits, we do know that he was assassinated... on a Monday!! So if anyone has the right to hate Mondays, it's that guy! And yet we would all have to agree that in spite of that, he still couldn't dispute that today was anything less than profoundly important and transformative. So that's really saying something.
Ok, to be fair, James A. Garfield was actually assassinated on a Saturday. But! He died on a Monday. Two and a half months later! Yikes! We could get into the weeds on this more, but we'll just gently guide you to his Wikipedia page which was chock full of other fun facts about the preacher, lawyer, Civil War general, and US representative turned POTUS. At Dynasty, every day is President's Day when you're trying to connect the dots on a day when the boundary between the physical and spiritual realms becomes especially thin, allowing for easier access to inner wisdom, higher guidance, and alignment with one’s soul purpose with a misdirection joke based on a cartoon cat who famously hated Mondays and James A. Garfield, a president who, like Abraham Lincoln, was assassinated. And who also like Lincoln, was born in a log cabin! It's true! ANYHOO, can you imagine our sheer delight when we looked up the date of his death and saw that it was actually on a Monday?
What we're trying to say is that the universe is pure magic, so if you can, use to today to manifest wonderful things for your life. Even if that's unsubscribing from this newsletter because it's too real for you. Or not real enough. We just want you to be happy! And THAT'S The Dynasty Difference!™
Lots of great shows and livestreams coming up this week at our enchanted theater! Peruse below and pick one or two and get tickets! You won't regret it!
Love,
VanJam

TLDR Version: Dynasty Tonight! is a semi-weekly live show with performances from great stand-up comics and musical and variety acts! Often VERY famous people pop-in! We only pick performers we truly love (as artists and humans!) because that’s what YOU deserve.
Curious Version:
Dynasty Tonight! is a Dynasty entertainment tradition over 300 years young. Dynasty founders, Jamie Flam and Vanessa Ragland, have made it their mission to continue the centuries-old inspirational work of their forebearers, Orl & Halcyon Dynasty - that is, creating enchanting experiences for humans. The location has changed (from a bat-ruled cave on a secret island to a historic theater in the heart of Los Angeles) but the spirit remains: Dynasty Tonight! is a celebration of the human experience, human expression, human connection, and out-of-this worrrrlllld popcorn.

About MURDER ON SEX ISLAND
A sexy reality show. A missing contestant. A one-of-a-kind detective.
"Bless Jo Firestone's quiet, mad genius . . . Hilarious and completely brilliant, [a] bloodstained love-letter to reality-dating television." —Vulture
When a cast member goes missing from the hit reality show Sex Island, producers hire detective Luella van Horn to go undercover as a contestant and solve the case. What the producers don’t know is that the enigmatic Luella van Horn is actually a woman named Marie Jones, a divorced ex–social worker from Staten Island attempting to lead a double life as a private eye. The local press couldn’t get enough of Luella . . . until she horribly bungled her last case and a murderer went free.
Unable to resist the opportunity to be a part of her favorite trashy TV show, travel to a remote island, and embark on a journey for redemption, Marie-as-Luella takes the case. But the more she learns about Sex Island’s dark underbelly, the harder it gets to make it out alive. She encounters shady producers, sleazy directors, contestants willing to do whatever it takes to win the $100,000 grand prize—and the dead body of the show’s missing fan-favorite in her bathtub.
Will she find the killer? Will she find herself? Will she find . . . love?
Find out now, on Sex Island’s most dramatic season yet.
