‘Cheaper Than Therapy’ bows at Warner

TORRINGTON — The Capitol Steps return to the Warner Theatre with an all-new show on Saturday, at 8 pm.

The Capitol Steps works overtime to capture the new administrations’ antics in satire and song.

Since The Capitol Steps find their laughs in materials ripped from today’s and tomorrow’s headlines you never know whether Steve Bannon, Jeff Sessions, or Kim Jong-un might appear from Mar-A-Lago or The White House.

The Washington Post calls The Capitol Steps, “an oasis of good-natured ribbing in a fiercely partisan world.

The entire audience, Republicans and Democrats alike, roared with laughter.”

DC Theatre Scene says, “The Capitol Steps is a political comedy show that offers a mix of song and standup, lampooning modern political leaders and taking on the major issues of the day. If you’re a political junkie, you’ll get a healthy dose of the daily news served spit-roasted and heavily mocked.”

The political musical satire troupe has been a national institution for over 35 years, providing a unique blend of musical and political comedy and satire to audiences coast-tocoast. Each show consists of tasteful lampooning guaranteed to leave both sides of the political spectrum laughing. The troupe started in 1981 and since then, they have appeared on “The Today Show,” “ABC News Nightline,” “CBS Evening News” and on specials for NPR.

To purchase tickets, call the Warner box office at 860-489-7180 or visit warnertheatre.org.
