News and Information Article
TAMPA, Fla., Jan. 20 // -- The Florida Venture Forum is pleased
to announce its key note entertainment for the 15th annual Florida Venture
Capital Conference set for January 31 - February 1, 2006 at the Sawgrass
Marriott & Resort in Ponte Vedra Beach, FL. The Capitol Steps will entertain
an expected gathering of 1,100 conference attendees on Tuesday, January 31
during a gala dinner.
The Capitol Steps first came together in December 1981 at a Christmas
party for the Senate Foreign Relations Committee when three members of
Illinois Republican Senator Charles Perceys staff were assigned to provide
entertainment. Troupe legend has it that they wanted to put on the traditional
Nativity play, but "in the whole of Congress they could not find three wise
men or a virgin," so instead they borrowed a giant fake check that had been
created as a prop for a subcommittee debate and used it to illustrate a carol
entitled "Immense Expense is Mainly in Defense." The rest is history --
spoofed in song.
Since their auspicious debut when Ronald Reagan was President, the Capitol
Steps have played to packed houses across the nation -- more than 4,500
performances in 48 states. Their countless television appearances include Good
Morning America, the Today Show, Nightline, 20/20 and three national specials
for public television.
According to former President George Bush, "The Capitol Steps make it
easier to leave public office." PJ ORourke has commented, "The Capitol Steps
are what Washington would be if everyone were smarter and could sing."
The Capitol Steps show will be followed with a 15th Anniversary
celebration sponsored by Square One Bank. The display will take place over the
18th green of the famed Stadium Course at the Tournament Players Club at
Sawgrass.
