Capitol Steps
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. In a year when politics has taken center stage, The Capitol Steps will have more fodder than ever for their hilarious show. Take a break from the mudslinging and enjoy a night of comedy!
