An Evening with The Capitol Steps
The Capitol Steps, the only group in America that attempts to be funnier
than the Congress, is a troupe of current and former Congressional staffers
who monitor events and personalities on Capitol Hill, in the Oval Office, and
in other centers of power and prestige around the world and then take a
humorous look at serious issues while providing a nationwide laugh for
millions. Tickets are $5 for the MIT community, $10 for other college
students and MIT alums, and $20 for the general public.
