After all was said and done, Jamie Flam’s Dynasty Typewriter raised $102,997 for the opening of the gorgeous, restored Hayworth Theater last night. This comes in just with perfect timing as LA has just lost two venues Cinefamily @ The Silent Movie Theatre and Trepany House @ Steve Allen Theater forever over the last few weeks.
Congratulations to Flam and company and Dynasty Typewriter AND The Hayworth!
Now, we have this timeline and whatever else Jamie has up his sleeve to look forward to. You might want to follow Dynasty Typewriter on Twitter, FB, Instagram to see exactly what’s coming.
Though LA is losing the Steve Allen Theater in a few weeks and Cinefamily is closed indefinitely pending an internal investigation of the extent of sexual harassment and assault, the city is gaining two new venues where primo comedy will get to live.
Yesterday, we tipped you off to the rebirth of Echoes. Today, we can tell you about the revival of The Hayworth Theater as restored classical theater (restoration done by building owners Jenji Kohan and Christopher Noxon architect Linda Brettler) near MacArthur Park that is aiming to bringing premium comedy, music, podcasts, variety shows, screenings, etc. to LA’s Eastside.
Thanks to Jamie Flam, a former booker of the Hollywood Improv and one of the most fun loving people we know, and his Wes-Anderson-esque fake company Dynasty Typewriter, a whole new wave of live shows is set to come in the next few months.
See Jamie tell you himself in this pretty swell Kickstarter video and read Julie Seabough’s write-up of the whole affair in LA Weekly.
Speaking of Kickstarter, “Dynasty Typewriter” is looking for $100K by November 16th to spend on A/V installation, operation costs for the first 3 months, and staffing via this Kickstarter campaign. Knowing what Jamie is capable of and having been to the space throughout the years, we definitely think it’s worth backing.
