Capitol Steps
Returning for their ninth annual evening of side-splitting political satire,
the members of Capitol Steps combine experience on the Hill with musical,
acting, improv and sheer comedic talent in an equal opportunity skewering of
modern day politics. The only group in America that attempts to be funnier
than Congress, they never fail to find humor in the latest headlines,
scandals and videos. Given today’s gridlock, a Capitol Steps show may be the
only thing capable of winning bipartisan support!

A Twist of Lemmon
Chris Lemmon’s one-man show has taken the country by storm. Told entirely in
his father’s voice with music to set the stage, the show explores this
unique, yet universal father/son journey. A story of superstardom, divorce
and separation, it reflects their ability to finally become the very best of
friends. Combining his own compositions with some of the greatest music of
the era, Lemmon tells a heart-wrenching, ultimately heart-warming, story
that will make you laugh, cry, and then laugh some more.
