Capitol Steps
November 1, 2007 7:30 pm
Watch Preview (11 min)
TWENTY-FIVE YEARS AGO, 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.
Digging into the headlines of the day, their song parodies and skits convey a special brand of satirical humor.
The Capitol Steps show is rip-roaring political fun. Equal opportunity satirists, they take aim at issues that are in the news picking on Republicans, Democrats and anyone else who deserves it. The Capitol Steps are an unforgettable entertainment experience. This is political satire at its best!
The material is updated constantly, whether it is the Democrats' current infatuation with Barack Obama in "A Leader Like Barack" (to "The Leader of the Pack") or the latest opinion from Ann Coulter ("Loonies of the Right") or on the international side, President Bush and the Prime Minister of Japan reconciling their differences in the touching "Stand By Japan." No matter who's in the headlines, the Capitol Steps are equal opportunity offenders.
Approx. 90 minutes. Age Appropriateness: 10+ (suggestive innuendo)

The Great American Trailer Park Musical
January 15, 2008 7:30pm
Welcomed by Davis Arneil Law Firm, LLP
Watch Preview
Direct from Off Broadway comes the first national tour of The Great American Trailer Park Musical.
There's a new tenant in town, and she's wreaking havoc all over Florida's most exclusive trailer park. When Pippi “the stripper on the run” comes between the Dr. Phil-loving, agoraphobic Jeannie and her tollbooth collector husband, the storms begin to brew - and we ain't talkin' about any old Florida hurricane!
Trailer park life meets Broadway musical: A combo that promises and delivers on side-splitting laughter, stunning vocals, and a surprising array of well-acted characters all mixed in with 80's nostalgia, and some smirk-worthy stereotyping. “South Park meets Desperate Housewives” says The New York Sun. The smash hit of the 2004 New York Musical Theater Festival.
“The score is infectious, the script is cheeky and it features some of the most roofraising girl-group singing (and hair raising perms) since the Pointer Sisters.”
- The New York Sun
Approx. 1 hr 50 min plus one 15 minutes intermission. Age appropriateness: 10+ (strong language)
