Kick off the Second Annual Season at the Turnage with a Laugh!
The Capitol Steps are the only people in Washington who attempt to be funnier than the politicians! This troupe of former (but not disgruntled) Congressional Staffers travels the country satirizing the very people and places that once employed them. The Steps perform over four hundred shows a year, covering territory from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon. Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded 18 albums, including 6 during the Clinton Presidency: Unzippin' My Doo-Dah, Sixteen Scandals, Return to Center, A Whole Newt World, Lord of the Fries, and The Joy of Sax.
Over the past 16 years, the Capitol Steps have been featured on three national PBS specials, "Good Morning America", "Entertainment Tonight," "NBC Nightly News," and CNN's "Inside Politics." Their song parodies have been played dozens of times on National Public Radio's "All Things Considered." Along with their weekly spots on Radio America's "Dateline: Washington" and WMAL's "Stevens & Core" show, they
can be heard 4 times a year nationwide during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials, broadcast by NPR stations nationwide. You can learn more about the Capital Steps at their website. This is a black tie optional event. The evening will begin at 6:30pm with a reception in the Turnage lobby. The theater will open at 7:30pm for seating. The show will begin at 8pm and will be followed by a live auction. The items available for auction are listed in the table below. We look forward to seeing you at our exciting season opener.
