Political Agenda
In 1981, a group of Senate staffers turned to newspaper headlines as inspiration for their holiday party entertainment. Little did they know that the resulting skits and musical parodies would serve as the foundation for the Capitol Steps, a theatrical troupe known for its political satire. More than 30 years and as many albums later, the award-winning ensemble spins national news into hilarious antics that poke fun at everyone from President Obama to Pope Francis. This laugh-a-minute romp draws from a rich reserve of material, including selections from the group’s 2014 album, How to Succeed in Congress Without Really Lying.
