DESCRIPTION:This is a benefit for the Gunn Robotics Team and the cost of the ticket 
 over $20 is a tax deductible donation. Tickets are $35, $45, & $50 - There 
 will be two shows- one at 4 pm & one at 7 pm.\n \nWhile schools across the 
 state of California hold their breath as they wait to find out what 
 politicians will do with their funding next year, the students of the Gunn 
 High School Robotics Team have taken the offensive.  They are hiring the 
 comedy troupe Capitol Steps to lampoon the politicians.  And Silicon Valley 
 spectators will love the robotics display during intermission.\n \nA staple 
 on public radio, the Capitol Steps is the only group in America that 
 attempts to be funnier than the Congress.\nThis troupe of former 
 Congressional staffers is sure to upset those right, left and center. 
 Putting the "mock" in democracy, the Steps leave no issue untouched with 
 their own special brand of satirical humor and scathing parody.\n\n[The 
 Capitol Steps began as a group of Senate staffers who set out to satirize 
 the very people and places that employed them. \n\nIn the years that 
 followed, many of the Steps ignored the conventional wisdom ("Don't quit 
 your day job!"), and although not all of the current members of the Steps 
 are former Capitol Hill staffers, taken together the performers have worked 
 in a total of eighteen Congressional offices and represent 62 years of 
 collective House and Senate staff experience. \n\nSince they began, the 
 Capitol Steps have recorded 29 albums, including their latest, Obama Mia .
