In addition to expanding the career opportunities of its principles, Jenrettes first scandal inspired the formation of a comedy troupe in Washington D.C., called Capitol Steps. The troupe is made up of former Congressional staffers. Since the Reagan years, theyve satirized American politics for theatergoers nationwide. Today, Capitol Steps hits up the Broward Center for Performing Arts (201 SW Fifth Avenue) in promotion of their new CD, Springtime for Liberals. Expect musical numbers such as Aint No Surplus, Im So Indicted, and Tap 3 Times, a charming ode to the sex scandal that stalled the career of Larry Craig. Tickets cost $25-$35.
