The Capitol Steps is returning with an election year comedy revue to Keene State College’s Redfern Arts Center on Friday, Sept. 30.

The political satire show based on songs from their current album “What to Expect When You’re Electing” will begin at 7:30 p.m. in the Redfern’s Main Theatre.

The Capitol Steps returns very four years to present their view of the U.S. presidential election process.

Before the show, the Keene State College American Democracy Project has invited local political candidates to a meet and greet reception from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the Harry Davis Room off the Redfern lobby.

A meet and greet reception with members of The Capitol Steps will be held in the lobby after the show.

The Capitol Steps, a Washington, D.C.-based comedy troupe that began as a group of Senate Staffers, has been an institution in the nation’s capitol for more than 30 years, providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy. Each show consists of tasteful bipartisan lampooning.

Their show is constantly changing, strenuously bi-partisan, and includes songs about the election madness, as well as other things in the news.

Tickets range from $35 to $50 depending on seating and are $5 for KSC students.

To reserve tickets, call the box office at 358-2168 or visit keene.edu/arts/redfern.
