Comedy Troupe puts “the mock in Democracy”
What: The Capital Steps

Where: Community Concert Hall
When: Monday, Oct. 1, 7:30 p.m.
Just in time for election season, comedy troupe The Capital Steps takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Monday at the Community Concert Hall at Fort Lewis College
The group first got together in 1981 while working as congressional staffers. Co-founders Elaina Newport, Bill Strauss and Jim Aidala combined satire and side-splitting comedy with the latest political news of the day, creating song parodies and skits that came to define the troupe’s trademark. No political party or national personality is safe from their unique brand of humor that puts “the mock in Democracy.”
Capital Steps have put out more than 30 albums in the past 30 years, including “Take the Money and Run for President” in 2012. They have also been featured on several major television networks and radio stations.
Doors open at 6:30 p.m. with concessions, beverages and snacks available. For more information about the event, visit www.durangoconcerts.com or call 247-7657.
