The Capitol Steps
Friday, May 16, 2008 | 8 PM

This troupe of current and former Congressional staffers provides a hilarious look at current political issues in a show of bipartisan barbs and silly song parodies pulled straight from the headlines. No one on Capitol Hill, in the Oval Office or around the world is safe. The Capitol Steps put the “mock” in democracy and you will want to catch them in 2008 for all the “political intelligence” you’ll need before casting your vote in the Presidential elections. www.capsteps.com

Sunday, June 1, 2008 | 2 & 7 PM

Perhaps the most famous personal account of the Holocaust, The Diary of Anne Frank is the true story of a 13-year-old Jewish girl and her family during World War II. Along with four others, the Franks spent two years concealed in an annex of rooms before their discovery by the Nazis. First published in 1947, Anne’s memoir of a life in hiding is a story of the indomitable human spirit; a flower blossoming in a dark wood, reaching for the sun. Presented by It’s Only Tuesday Productions. Produced by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service. www.itsonlytuesday.com

This performance is part of the Best of the Valley Series presented by Clear Channel Radio Antelope Valley.
