Capitol Steps bring political satire

 
PULLMAN – The Capitol Steps will perform at WSU’s Beasley Coliseum at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 23.  If you want to spend an evening laughing at politics, don’t miss this show.  With the election a month away this is guaranteed to be a night to remember. 
 
Known for their witty political satire, the Steps put the “mock” in democracy.  The Capitol Steps is an American political satire group. It has been performing since 1981, and has released approximately thirty albums consisting primarily of song parodies. The group marked its twenty-fifth anniversary during 2006. Originally consisting exclusively of Congressional staffers performing around Washington, D.C., the troupe has also performed on PBS, public radio and through concert tours around the United States.  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.
 
Tickets go on sale 10 a.m. Friday, Aug. 15, at all TicketsWest outlets including Beasley Coliseum, U of I Kibbie Dome, Rosauers in Lewiston, and by phone at 800-325-SEAT and online.
 
All seats are $30 ($25 WSU students)
