The Capitol Steps Returns To The State Theater 10/28
The masters of musical political satire, The Capitol Steps, return to the State Theatre on Thursday, October 28th, at 8 PM, just in time for elections.
Tickets are $30 & $25 and can be purchased at the State Theatre Box Office, 453 Northampton Street, Easton, call 1-800-999-STATE, 610-252-3132 online at www.statetheatre.org. The show is sponsored by The Morning Call and WAEB AM 790.In 1981, 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 over 30 albums, including their latest, Liberal Shop of Horrors and Barackin' Around the Christmas Tree . 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.
