Darlings,
Mercury has gone DIRECT, the Lion’s Gate portal still roars, and hopefully we are all about to enjoy a season of abundance, expression, and ease. Or at least fewer rage-inducing calls with CVS Pharmacy (👋 that one’s personal.) The weather’s heating up, our AC’s staying cool, and the remainder of this month has some real gems of shows AND some surprises coming 🤔! The newsie is our favorite place to tell people about said surprises, so keep your eyes on your inbox for the next little while. Not a surprise but a head’s up, a week from today we have a very special MONDAY night Dynasty Tonight! and the lineup is reallll good: CHELSEA PERETTI (Brooklyn Nine-Nine)

This past weekend, off-site at DescFlamso gardens (Jamie’s house), we enjoyed a magical gathering of some of our favorite humans. We were graced with the presence of two GIGANTIC cormorants that have been constructed in Jam’s yard, and a 30ft tall bamboo structure. Folks from ages 5-75 hung out and shared food and drink and experienced the magic of human connection. Dogs from 3 pounds to 40 pounds hung out and experienced the magic of canine connection. This magic was especially present in the pulley system on the bamboo tower. Juiceboxes and cookies sent up to you as you enjoy a view of palm trees and huge birds and the sounds of a poorly, nay, intuitively, played didgeridoo? Core memories were made. Needless to say, all these features coming to Dynasty asap! ;)
Hope to see you at the theater very soon and very often.
Adoringly,
VanJam

🧼 🏝️ WEDNESDAY, 8/13, 7:30PM: 13-Year-Old MICHAEL AUSIELLO Presents: Beverly Hills - A Pretend Soap Oprea Preformed By Real Actors
⭐️ IN PERSON SOLD OUT! ⭐️ 🎥 LIVE AND LIVESTREAMED 🎥
The life-or-death smash is returning with a brand new life-or-death adventure! In the 1980s’ Golden Age of daytime television, back when MICHAEL AUSIELLO was but a closeted gay teen doing his damnedest to get by in small-town New Jersey, he penned 517 episodes of a soap opera called Beverly Hills. (Yes, before anyone knew that 90210 was its zip code!)
Miraculously, the future founder of TVLine saved every handwritten script. (See also: Hoarders, Season 2.) Now, four decades later, some of the biggest names in comedy will come together — back together, in a few cases — to perform a 60-minute reading of a self-contained story arc.
After journeying to the Great Wall of China, surviving the deadly Russian circus, tracking down a serial killer, and hosting the wedding of the year, the show The Daily Beast called an “unhinged, hilarious hit” is poised to reveal the truth behind the coveted prisms.
And yes. If you were wondering, although some of Teenage MICHAEL’S atrocious spelling has been cleaned up for this theatrical experience — you’re welcome — the scenes will be performed exactly as they were written nearly 40 years ago. For better and worse.
Featuring: TONY RODRIGUEZ, WENDI MCLENDON-COVEY, EDI PATTERSON, CAITLIN REILLY, LAMORNE MORRIS, TIMOTHY SIMONS, LYRIC LEWIS, PATTY GUGGENHEIM, DANA POWELL, JIM RASH, DYLAN COHEN, MITCH SILPA, KRISTEN JOHNSTON, ANDY RICHTER, PAUL SCHEER and TRISTAN MICHAEL BROWN

🤘 💔 FRIDAY, 8/15, 7:30PM: Mamma Mia! But Different!

Come see an entirely RE-IMAGINED PRODUCTION full of BROADWAY ACTORS performing whatever our featured writer wants to do — no questions asked. Completely different characters. Wildly different plots. The same exact ABBA hits you know and love (and maybe even some you don’t) — it’s MAMMA MIA! BUT DIFFERENT!

🎬 COMING SOON… TO A STAGE NEAR YOU!
Step into a time warp and witness the most bonkers TV moment that never made it to air! Join us for a live staged reading of a lost, never-before-seen episode from the infamous 1990 drama reboot of The Brady Bunch — “The Bradys”! This so-called “serious” sequel was canceled after just 5 episodes… but Episode 6? It was written. Never filmed. Never seen by the public... until now.
💥 What’s in this unearthed TV treasure?
• A plot twist so outrageous it’ll blow your bell-bottoms off — they kill off Mike Brady. Yes, THE Mike Brady!
• Backstage drama turned actual drama: the writers reportedly couldn’t stand Robert Reed so much they wrote him out permanently. Cue the helicopter crash!
• A thrilling mystery: Will or won’t Carol Brady sing at the funeral? The suspense! Find out!
🌈 Don’t worry though — “Everybody’s Smilin’! Sunshine Day!” — because you’re about to witness the Brady Bunch like you’ve NEVER seen them before. Think family drama, 90s flair, and soap opera-level stakes… all performed live without that pesky television remote control.
🎟️ One night only. Don’t miss it. Because once this staged chaos is unleashed… there’s no going back to the groovy old days. GET TICKETS!
