The Capital Capitol Steps!

Tonight David and I spent a hilarious evening with The Capitol Steps at Cranwell. What a hoot! This group has been around since the 1980's when some Senate pages decided to put on a Christmas Nativity show. They were stumped because they couldn't find three wise men and a virgin in the Congress! (yuk, yuk) I just stole one of the lines from the show.

Tonight's cast included Jon Bell, who was simply marvelous as Barach Obama and others, Mike Carruthers, who was Harry Reid, Kevin Corbett, who was Mitch McConnell and asked Harry Reid to marry him since you need to be gay these days to accomplish anything, Janet Gordon as a poppy-eyed Nancy Pelossi, Delores Williams, as Sonia Sotomayor, and Dave Kane the wizard of the keyboards. Each of the actor-singers portrayed numerous well-know Washington types complete with quick-change costumes and wigs.

Meet the Cast! All the Companies!

Let it be known that they left no tern unstoned! Including the Pope! A packed house laughed uncontrollably for an hour and a half. It was a great evening.

We started the evening with supper on the terrace of the nearby Pub which is on the impressive grounds of Cranwell.

If you get to the Berkshires before August 31st, go see it!!
