The Capitol Steps return to Hampshire County in their first
performance since 2010. The political
musical satire troupe has been a national
institution for over 35 years, providing a unique blend of musical and
political comedy and satire to audiences coast-to-coast. Each show consists of
tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum
laughing. The troupe started in 1981. Since then, they have appeared on “The Today
Show,” “ABC News Nightline,” “CBS Evening News” and on specials for NPR.
The Capitol Steps works overtime to capture the new
administrations’ antics in satire and song. And since The Capitol Steps find
their laughs in materials ripped from today’s and tomorrow’s headlines you
never know whether Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, or Kim Jong-un might appear
from Mar-A-Lago or The White House.
