Impact|Programs of Excellence presents return of the hilarious, politically incorrect, musical parody comedy. The Capitol Steps was born in December, 1981 when some staffers for Sen. 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. Many of the staffers quit their day jobs, and while many of the current members did not start as congressional staffers, the troupe still has worked in a total of 18 Congressional offices over the years. The Capitol Steps have recorded over 30 albums, including their latest, “ What to Expect When You’re Electing.”
