The Capitol Fools return to the McAninch Arts Center with their musical political satire on October 12, featuring performances that humorously critique American politics through song parodies. Audiences can expect new material and familiar characters, as the group takes a comedic look at figures like RFK Jr., Bernie Sanders, and even Kermit the Frog. The cast includes former Capitol Steps members Jon Bell, Evan Casey, Nancy Dolliver, and Jack Rowles, alongside Emily Gleichenhaus, making her debut at the MAC. Directed by Jack Rowles and featuring music direction by Howard Breitbart, this performance promises to entertain with its sharp reflections on current events.
