Join Tenth Dems on Sunday, April 26, for our annual afternoon of laughs with the political satire group, The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe (formerly The Capitol Steps), and come for dinner too.
You can purchase your tickets here. Thanks to our group discount, our show tickets are on the main floor at $52.00 each, a much lower cost than Box Office/Will Call tickets. Purchase early; in previous years we’ve sold out.
We’ve also arranged an early dinner after the show for $37 a person, including tax and tip (no upcharge – our cost!) in a private room at Jameson’s Charhouse next door, 9525 Skokie Blvd., Skokie. The menu includes a choice of entree (6 oz. sirloin with mashed potatoes, chicken marsala with rice pilaf, or macadamia-encrusted tilapia with rice pilaf) that comes with vegetables, a dinner roll and a house salad, plus a soft drink or coffee – choices to be made when seated. Reserve your dinner here. but don’t delay! Because of the size of the room, we can’t accept more than the first 50 dinner reservations.
With so much fresh, new material for The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe to cover, we’re looking forward to this performance. We could all use some good laughs.
Buy tickets now to see The Capitol Fools Comedy Troupe and/or purchase your dinner reservation.

Tenth Dems is a grassroots political organization that helps mobilize voters and activists throughout the 10th Congressional District. It’s a good time to complete a political internship as we organize during this critical period in our nation’s history.
Tenth Dems interns have staffed issue forums and events for elected officials and candidates up and down the ballot, worked on campaigns, and conducted research. We help build the Democratic infrastructure to elect Democrats at all levels of government. Interns may choose to complete general internships or specialize in areas such as media, field, communications, technology, volunteer management, and political outreach.
Internships are unpaid, educational positions; however, academic credit is often available.
“This is an opportunity to learn about grassroots politics and to develop important skills,” said former State Representative and Tenth Dems Founder Lauren Beth Gash. “Many interns have gone on to paid political positions with local campaigns or jobs in Springfield, Washington, and with national not-for-profit organizations. Many have gone on to become elected officials themselves.”
Residency in the 10th Congressional District is not required, but applicants must have an interest in electing Democrats in this area. Interns must devote a minimum of 16 hours per week during the summer, or 8 hours per week during the fall or spring. Applicants should submit a brief paragraph explaining why they would like to be part of the program, along with a resume summarizing their educational background and activities. Neither needs to be formal. To apply or request more information, email us at info@tenthdems.org.
