The Capitol Steps, America's award-winning musical political satirists, will bring perform their wildly popular show to the new, state-of- the-art Princeton High School Performing Arts Center (located on Walnut Lane) on Thursday, November 18 at 7:30pm. The evening will benefit the Princeton Senior Resource Center's Human Capital Campaign.

Known for putting the "mock" in democracy, the Capitol Steps have charmed audiences on both sides of the aisle with its unique brand of political humor set to popular music. While the Capitol Steps are renowned for poking fun at occupants of the White House, no one is safe from their satirical barbs, from Democrats to Republicans and from Congress to the Supreme Court.

Satirizing politics via songs and skits since the Reagan years, the Capitol Steps provide an ever-changing comedic repertoire that tackles current events on an international scale. The Capitol Steps have recorded 30 albums and have been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS and can be heard four times a year on National Public Radio during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials.

Humorist P.J. O'Rourke says, "The Capitol Steps are what Washington would be like if everyone were smarter and could sing."
