Capitol Steps lampoon political elite, raising money for Prince William charities at Hylton Performing Arts Center

The Capitol Steps comedy troupe are coming to the Hylton Performing Arts Center in Manassas on February 21 at 7 p.m. for a performance to benefit the Manassas Bull Run Rotary. Funds collected will help the Rotary assist deserving and successful charities.

“We were very pleased with the turnout last year. And this year, with the event being held at the beautiful Hylton Performing Arts Center, we feel the turnout will be even better. I am also pleased that this event will help the Manassas Bull Run Rotary assist such deserving charities as Rainbow, CASA, B.A.R.N., Calling All Souls, and Habitat for Humanity. It’s a Win-Win for the community. They get to see a great show and, at the same time, help support such great organizations and their efforts to help others” said Rotary vice-president Donald Jones.

For those who never have seen this creative group perform, you’re in for a treat. This group takes a very humorous approach to timely political issues and even takes a few jabs at political figures – no one is safe.

“A lot of folks have never seen the Capitol Steps and for those who have, like me, the show changes all the time to keep up with the current political scene. Hence, there is always something new whether you’ve seen them once or even ten times. It’s so very true that they “put the MOCK in Democracy”. They spare no one – and it’s simply great theatre with a very talented cast” said Jones.
