The Muppet Script returned with THE MUPPET SCRIPTMAS CAROL, a live celebration of the written word behind one of the Muppets’ most beloved films. While the Muppets are often remembered for their colorful fleece-and-foam characters, this event put the spotlight where it all began: on the page. Before appearing on screen, the Muppets first returned to the writers’ room, where scribe Jerry Juhl drew inspiration from Charles Dickens’ classic holiday tale, transporting the gang to merry old London in the 1800s. The film marked the Muppets’ first without creator Jim Henson and was directed by his son, Brian Henson, and featured the return of Paul Williams, whose songs helped create a soundtrack as timeless as Dickens’ original novel.
The performance raised funds for One Simple Wish, an organization dedicated to amplifying the voices of individuals impacted by foster care and crisis through meaningful, often simple wishes. Support from the evening helped One Simple Wish continue its work with over 2,000 social service agencies and nonprofits across the United States, ensuring that everyone feels seen, heard, and loved.

We kicked off the holiday at Dynasty with Jon Gabrus’ 11th Annual High & Mighty Thanksgiving Eve Power Hour, a yearly event where six friends take sixty shots of beer in sixty minutes.
Gabrus was joined by Nick Wiger, Gilli Nissim, Oscar Montoya, Ify Nwadiwe, and Betsy Sodaro. The group started strong, got progressively sillier as the timer moved along, and kept the crowd engaged the whole way through.
Some people in the audience played along, while others just watched the chaos unfold. The livestream added another layer of participation with viewers commenting and reacting in real time.
By the end, it was a fun, loose, and lively way to start the Thanksgiving break. Thanks to everyone who came out or tuned in.

On Halloween night 2022, Dynasty Typewriter transformed into a century-old haunt brimming with eerie delight. Guests danced on the legendary stage, snacked on popcorn while “firk’ing or treating,” and tested their luck in parlor games—all to the tune of our “living dead” house band. The evening’s highlights included a spirited costume contest, three active Ouija zones for communing with the beyond, and a conga line that summoned more laughter than ghosts. Between “boo-verages,” mystical surprises, and a rumored secret séance, it was the Halloween party people were dying to get into—metaphorically, of course.

Photo Recap: The Scripted Muppet Caper
This spring, The Muppet Script returned to Dynasty Typewriter with The Scripted Muppet Caper!
When most people think of the Muppets, they think of the colorful characters made out of fleece and foam. But as with every movie, it all starts on the written page. Before returning to the big screen, the Muppets returned to the writers’ room. Muppets head writer Jerry Juhl was joined this time by Tom Pratchett, Jack Rose, and Jay Tarses to take the gang overseas to jolly old England, in Jim Henson’s directorial debut. With music by Joe Raposo, The Great Muppet Caper is a true delight — a fizzy, self-aware romp that captures everything we love about Henson’s world.
This spring, The Muppet Script returned to Dynasty Typewriter with The Scripted Muppet Caper! Some returning favorites, some new faces, and, of course, the same old jokes — all performed live for a packed house and a worldwide livestream audience.
The evening featured an incredible cast including Marc Evan Jackson as Kermit the Frog, Nina West as Miss Piggy, Paul Scheer as Fozzie Bear, Bobby Moynihan as Gonzo, Mark Gagliardi as Statler, Hal Lublin as Waldorf, Janet Varney as Janice, Dana Wickens as Animal, Scott Passarella as Dr. Teeth, Brett Morris as Floyd Pepper, Taylor Plenn as Zoot, Ross Bryant as Scooter, Jiavani as Rowlf, Jordan Myrick as Sam Eagle, Katie Marovitch as Beaker, Nina Concepción as Dr. Bunsen Honeydew, Ruha Taslimi as Lew Zealand, Oscar Montoya as Beauregard, Anna Garcia as Sweetums and The Swedish Chef, and Lucas Ross as Louis Kazzager. Special appearances included James Willems, Elyse Willems, Veronica Fernandez, London Villamayor, and Mallery Jenna Robinson, rounding out a cast that perfectly captured the Muppets’ chaotic charm.
Music was performed by Brett Morris, Micah O’Konis, Scott Passarella, Taylor Plenn, Lucas Ross, Marnina Schon, and Dana Wickens, with narration by Anna Rajo and Abigail Remaley, musical direction by Scott Passarella, and production and direction by Matt Wilkie.
The performance also served as a fundraiser for The TransLatin@ Coalition, a Los Angeles-based organization founded in 2009 by Transgender, Gender Expansive, and Intersex (TGI) immigrant women. The Coalition continues to serve and empower TGI Latin@ immigrants through advocacy, community building, and direct support — a mission that beautifully reflects the inclusive, joyful spirit of the Muppets themselves.
