The Capitol Steps
For nearly 50 years, the critics have raved that “an evening spent with Garth Fagan Dance is a humanity-affirming event.” —Los Angeles Times
A true Rochester treasure, internationally acclaimed Garth Fagan Dance packs a punch with Fagan’s signature technique, which marries the gravity of modern dance, the precision of ballet, and the power of Afro-Caribbean styles.
Enjoy Rochester premieres by Garth Fagan and Norwood Pennewell as well as enticing revivals from the company’s rich archive.
Monday, December 31 | 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. | $45–$75, Callahan Theater
The Capitol Steps return to the Arts Center for Rochester’s favorite New Year’s Eve tradition of politically based satire ripped from current headlines. Irreverent, uproarious, and adamantly bi-partisan, the award-winning troupe has been featured on primetime TV and NPR.
Now in its 37th year, The Capitol Steps has recorded an album of laugh-out-loud song skits a year, and 2018 promises to be no exception. Expect parodies skewering the greatest political foibles of the day. Quite simply, The Capitol Steps puts the “mock” in democracy!
