Sun Journal interviews Capitol Steps writer ahead of CCA show

The Sun Journal spoke with a longtime writer for Capitol Steps, a comedy troupe that performs current-event satire, ahead of the group’s University of Maine performance. The group will perform Sept. 16 at Kents Hill School in Kents Hill and Sept. 17 at the Collins Center for the Arts at UMaine. The CCA performance will be part of the center’s gala to kick off the 31st season. Regarding this election year, writer Mark Eaton said, “There’s certainly more comedy on both sides than we’ve ever seen, and the only problem is trying to be funnier than the actual campaign sometimes.” The Free Press also advanced the Capitol Steps performance at CCA.
