The Capitol Steps' Main Accomplishments
Include . . .
The Capitol Steps, the only group in America
that attempts to be funnier than the Congress, is a troupe
of former congressional staffers who travel the country satirizing
the very people that once employed them. Over the past 20
years, the group has had over 5,000 performances in forty-eight
states and produced 23 recordings, their latest being Between
Iraq and Hard Place. The Capitol Steps, which now has
twenty-two cast members, five of whom are on stage for any
one show, perform over 500 shows a year all over the country
in addition to appearing on numerous television shows. They
have been featured on NBC, ABC, CBS and PBS, and can be heard
four times a year on National Public Radio stations nationwide
during their Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
They have performed for many of the targets of their satire,
including four Presidents.
More on The Capitol Steps . . .
The Capitol
Steps' show is rip-roaring political fun. The five-to-seven-member
cast is a constant transition of new costumes, props, and
music. Their political satire song parodies take potshots
at the outrageous goings-on in Washington . Equal opportunity
satirists, they take aim at issues that are in the news
right now - picking on Republicans, Democrats and anyone
else who deserves it. The Steps treat audiences to such
ditties as: Don't Go Faking Your Smart,
Bill's Way, Fools on the Hill, Son of a Bush and more.
The Capitol Steps are an unforgettable entertainment experience.
