The Capitol Steps to Stage Political Satire for Both Sides of the Aisle at the Grand

The Grand 1894 Opera House presents
The Capitol Steps, Sunday, March 6, 2016 at 7 pm. Tickets may be purchased at The Grand's Box Office, 2020 Postoffice Street, by calling 409.765.1894, 800.821.1894, or online at www.thegrand.com.

A 35-year sensation in Washington DC and around the nation, The Capitol Steps are a comedic troupe whose raucous blend of political satire and song parodies has made them uniquely qualified to celebrate the sometimes outrageous nature of US politics with their audiences. They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and have recorded 35 albums, including its latest, Mock the Vote. Although not all of the current members of the Steps are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together, the performers represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience. They've worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices -- some for Democrats, some for Republicans, and others for politicians who firmly straddle the fence! With this kind of experience, it's no wonder that no matter who holds office, there's never a shortage of material for a Capitol Steps parody. This performance is sponsored in part by Moody National Bank.
