THEATRE + COMEDY

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents the Capitol Steps. RESCHEDULED DATE from October 8, 2008! Saturday May 16, 2009 8pm.

The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.

In the years that followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience.

Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded 28 albums, including their latest, Campaign and Suffering .

They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard 4 times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.

Do partisan politics make you laugh out loud?

This show’s for you!
