In the Performing Arts Center The Capitol Steps Thursday • October 18• 7:30 pm The Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. The group was born in December, 1981 when some staffers for Senator Charles Percy were planning entertainment for a Christmas party. Their first idea was to stage a nativity play, but in the whole Congress they couldn’t find three wise men or a virgin. So, they decided to dig into the headlines of the day, and they created song parodies and skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor. Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded over 30 albums, including their latest, Desperate Housemembers. 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 radio specials Politics Takes a Holiday.    $45 Orchestra • $30 Mezzanine Seniors - take $5 off and $10 Children (with adult ticket) or DESIGN YOUR OWN SERIES OF 3-5 OR MORE EVENTS
