No parent traps for butterflies :(
Dear Darlings,
Hello Junebuggies! We be lovin’ you all the time. This second week of June [Bugs] at Dynasty is emerging from its chrysalis and it’s… MULTIPLE BUTTERFLIES. Wait- Can butterflies have twins? Hold on. Ok, back from the research lab! Update: Butterflies can NOT have twins. Caterpillar eggs carry but a single rider. The “research” we did (google) suggests that while they cannot be twins, butterflies can hatch together by making chrysalis’ next to each other on the same plant. That is definitely cool but sadly it is NOTHING LIKE BEING TWINS. Listen, contrary to popular belief, Van and Jam are not twins so we don’t have that lived twin experience. And while we do know the experience of being zodiac twins 🦂🦂, we also know it just ain’t the same thang. Anyway, this metaphorical chrysalis we described is REALLY a wonder because it’s hatching sextuplets!
🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋 And they’re shockingly fraternal. BILL BURR! MARGARET CHO! SAM PANCAKE! SAM OH! and so much more. Fly, little ones, FLY! Also in this metaphor, the theater is a huge native-plant pollinator garden where the butterflies flock and get that sweet, sweet nectar of your love and our ‘corn. 🍿
🌽Speaking of corn (all, in unison: “We’re all ears!”): We’ve begun updating the Dynasty Souvenir Emporium into a (very small) MALL. Introducing Mall, Dynasty! Next time you’re at the theater, stop by Mall, Dynasty! to get a variety of corn themed products, some mini games, incense, odd candles, and MORE. (all, in unison: “What’s more?!” ) Why, thanks fer asking! We have the beginnings of SludgeZone! a Sludgy The Bear (Our Plumbassador) focused shop. By “shop” we mean about 18 inches of shelf. There are BEAUTIFUL bear and plumbing focused treasures including: Bear shaped honey lollipops! Poop shaped chocolate lollipops! Little toilet things that have sour candy in them. AND MORE. Wow. If you buy any of these wares (can we call them wares?) please write us. We’ll… honor you.
Speaking of honoring, (all, silent. Wondering what will come next.) We’re so excited to host and HONOR … SUPEREGO: 20th Anniversary Show! 20 years of some of the funniest fellas in the world. Matt Gourley, Jeremy Carter, Mark McConville, Paul F. Tompkins, and Andy Daly will bring a collection of eccentric characters, bizarre personalities, and improvised case studies to the stage for one night only. Live AND live-streamed, so you can honor joy where e’er you may be.
🦋It’s a twin thang,🦋
