FSCJ Artist Series to Welcome The Capitol Steps in February 2015

The Capitol Steps, a Washington DC-based comedy troupe that began as a group of Senate Staffers, will present a show based on songs from their current album "How to Succeed in Congress Without Really Lying" at Jacksonville's Wilson Center for the Arts from Tuesday, February 10th through Sunday, February 15th for eight performances only! Tickets are on sale now through the FSCJ Artist Series, sponsored by Chase, the official presenter of the Jacksonville show.

The Capitol Steps have been a Washington, DC institution for over 30 years, providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy to our Nation's Capitol and more. Each show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum laughing. The troupe started in 1981, when John McCain was only 63 years old! Since then, they have appeared on "The Today Show," "Nightline," "CBS Evening News" and for many years in specials for National Public Radio.

Their show is constantly changing, strenuously bi-partisan, and includes songs about everything in the news, such as "Putin on a Blitz," "The Big Benghazi Theory," and "Everybody Must Get Droned." If you've ever wanted to see Barack Obama sing a show tune, Nancy Pelosi sing a rock song, and New Jersey Governor Chris Christie do a classical ballet, this might just be the show for you!
