If your inauguration fever has yet to subside (one look at your 401(k) should cure it), you may want to take a trip to North Shore Center for the Performing Arts in Skokie. That's where D.C.'s favorite comedy troupe, the Capitol Steps, will be performing Thursday through Sunday ($44-$48).

Before you go, check out the troupe's Web site for samples of their most recent parody tunes, including "Ain't No Surplus, Now It's Gone" and "Blagojevich" (to the tune of "If I Were a Rich Man").
