ABOUT:
It all started in 1981 when some U.S. Senate staffers created The Capitol Steps, a musical/comedy troupe who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. What started as “roasting the boss” quickly became a national touring act. After a three-year hiatus, The Capitol Steps are returning to the stage – fresher and crispier than ever – as The Capitol Fools!
