EAST COAST PREMIERE: DC’s REFLECTING
FOOLS
THE CAPITOL STEPS TAKE 2
|
|
|
The COVID
pandemic was no joke to The Capitol Steps, the leading
political satire troupe that put the mock in democracy for nine
Presidential elections, who closed their doors after nearly 30 years.
But don’t
storm the Capitol Steps just yet! The stairway to heavenly political
satire originally laid by the Capitol Steps continues upward
with DC’s Reflecting Fools—the new musical parody group
created by the performers and co-writer from the Steps.
DC’s
Reflecting Fools’ debut at the Axelrod Performing Arts Center for
Presidents’ Day weekend, February 19, at 8 PM in the Vogel Auditorium
in Deal.

|
|
Audiences
will continue to see casts from past seasons performing all the
beloved bits, the show-ending and mind-boggling backward talking
spoonerisms, break-neck costume changes, over-the-top impressions,
and all-new song parodies reflecting the day’s news.

Only laughter Unites the Nation!

their premiere East Coast performances unveiling the next political
movement in comedy sweeping the country.
