Back 31 years ago some staffers for Senator Charles Percy wanted to do a nativity play for a Capitol Hill Christmas party, but when they decided they “couldn’t find three wise men and a virgin” in Congress they focused on topical comedy skits instead. And Three decades later we have the venerable satirical powerhouse The Capitol Steps. The theater troupe will joke about how the Republicans still hate Romney, reliable target Herman Cain and Joe Biden's embarrassing comments as they once again visit The Valentine Theatre on Thursday, October 18.
$37-$50. 7:30pm. Valentine Theatre, 410 Adams St. 419-242-3490. www.valentinetheatre.com
