The Capitol Steps
“100th Lecture”
Free tickets available to the public beginning March 27.
Since 1995, the IPFW Omnibus Lecture Series has brought speakers of national prominence to talk about the most compelling issues of our times. As our country gears up for another election season, Omnibus has chosen The Capitol Steps to take a light-hearted look into the 2012 political arena.
The Capitol Steps, a political satire comedy troupe, formed in the early 1980s when a group of Senate staffers working under the Reagan administration decided that if entertainers could become politicians, then politicians could become entertainers. Expect to laugh until it hurts—and then laugh some more—when The Capitol Steps bring their caucus of comedy to the campus of IPFW.
These former Congressional staffers know what it takes to turn Washington inside out. Between their members, they have served the public in eighteen Congressional offices and boast a combined 62 years of collective House and Senate staff experience—so needless to say, there’s no shortage of material.
They’ve performed for NBC, CBS, ABC, PBS, and NPR—and five presidents. Their ability to take on both sides of the aisle has been featured in The Washington Post, The Huffington Post, Politico, The L.A. Times, The New York Times, and more.
Come celebrate the 100th Omnibus Lecture with uproarious laughter as The Capitol Steps take the American political theatre to task.
