Albert Einstein, the Practical Bohemian
>From the shock of frizzy hair to sneakers without socks, film and television actor Ed Metzger stars in his one-man show, Albert Einstein: the Practical Bohemian. Meet Einstein the Man not the Monument in Metzger's brilliant portrayal of the original absent-minded professor, confused and troubled father, outspoken protestor against the outrage of war, philosopher, womanizer and lover of...vanilla ice cream. Here is the man whose revolutionary theories awed the world, but who once had to ask directions to his own house.

The Capitol Steps is back by popular demand! Created during the Reagan Administration by three Congressional staffers, the Capitol Steps is the only group in Washington that attempts to be funnier than the Congress. Digging into the headlines and hot topics of the day to create new lyrics for familiar tunes, the Capitol Steps deliver a special brand of satirical humor that, thanks to the likes of Ross Perot, Socks the Cat and the entire Congress, has enjoyed an ever-increasing audience. Left, right or center, the Capitol Steps has a laugh and an insult for everyone.
