June, 2020

Dear Clients, Colleagues and Friends

To say we’re in challenging times is an understatement. I wrote about how my business changed overnight in a column for Succeeding in Small Business, called Postcard From The Pandemic: Learning How To Spin On a Dime. https://www.succeedinginsmallbusiness.com/postcard-from-the-pandemic-my-perspective-on-learning-how-to-spin-on-a-dime/#.XsKUXxNKhQI

All of our clients have faced challenges.

The Capitol Steps suspended all performances in Washington, DC and on tour in March, and no performances are likely to happen soon. You’ll find a new song or sketch on the Capitol Steps website, along with Politics Takes A Holiday public radio broadcasts available for download.
