The Wilton League of Women Voters is bringing the Capitol Steps to our own Clune Center Auditorium, Friday, April 5th. This will be a hilarious night out! For those of you not familiar with the Capitol Steps they are masters of musical political parody with the motto "We put the MOCK in Democracy." They are equal opportunity offenders, so you will laugh until you cry no matter what your personal political views. I have included information from the Capital Steps web site below (www.capsteps.com). Ticket sales will be held at the Village Market on March 22nd and 23rd, you can also purchase tickets at www.wiltonlwv.org.
About the Capitol Steps
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 & skits which conveyed a special brand of satirical humor.
Since they began, the Capitol Steps have recorded over 30 albums, including their latest, Take the Money and Run — for President. 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 Politics Takes a Holiday radio specials.
