2 - CAPITAL STEPS "POLITICAL COMEDY",
presented by the Poncan Theatre. Warning: Watching the Capitol Steps can
produce the condition known as "Side Splitting!" However, the
maximum-strength dose of political sitre served up by the Washington,
D.C. based troupe is so effective that worries about the economy and the
national political scene are banished - at least for a while. Comprised
of former Capitol Hill employees, this bipartisan joke spewing machine
with parodies galore is the perfect way to spend an evening. So whether
you are a Rich Wing-nut, Left Wing-nut, Chicken-wing nut or just nuts,
join the scene as the Poncan hosts the Capitol Steps. Showtime is 7:30
p.m. and tickets are $30 and available at the Poncan Theatre box office.
