THE CAPITOL STEPS: THE "LIBERAL SHOP OF HORRORS" TOUR
Musical Political Satire
Saturday, December 18, 2010 at 8PM
Chapin Auditorium
Mount Holyoke College
South Hadley, Massachusetts
The Capitol Steps return to the Pioneer Valley with their all-new "Liberal Shop of Horrors" Tour, an evening of musical political satire that pokes fun at Democrats, Republicans, Tea Partiers and Independents alike. The Capitol Steps began their antics over 25 years ago, when a group of Capitol Hill folks set out to satirize the very people and places that employed them.Today, The Capitol Steps perform in Washington weekly, and at theatres and concert halls nationwide throughout the year. They have recorded 29 albums, including their latest, "Liberal Shop of Horrors" . They've been featured on NBC, CBS, ABC, and PBS, and can be heard 4 times a year on NPR stations nationwide during their "Politics Takes a Holiday" radio specials.
"Their political satire brings chuckles...rave reviews...guffaws...and bipartisan grins all around. The satire hits the mark.” The Wall Street Journal
