Capitol Steps
Monday, October 8 at 7:30 p.m.
Formed in 1981, the Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them. Taken together the performers have worked in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience. 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.
Shrek The Musical

It features a score of all-new songs, breathtaking scenery and costumes and a cast of over 25 of Broadway’s brightest talents. Part romance, part twisted fairy tale and all irreverent fun, SHREK THE MUSICAL proves that there’s more to this story than meets the ears.
A Chorus Line

In an empty theatre, on a bare stage, casting for a new Broadway musical is almost complete. For 17 dancers, this audition is the chance of a lifetime. It’s what they’ve worked for – with every drop of sweat, every hour of training, every day of their lives. It’s the one opportunity to do what they’ve always dreamed — to have the chance to dance. This is A Chorus Line, winner of 9 Tony Awards including “Best Musical” and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, the musical for everyone who’s ever had a dream and put it all on the line.
