Kennedy Center Testing Reqr

[Anonymous]

Has anyone been to the Kennedy Center this week? As I understand it, you have to bring your vax card or show negative test. Wonder what people who can't get tested will do? Roll the dice?

They've had this in place for a while. We went to a show in October (?) and you have to show your card (or a photo of your card) or a negative test before you enter the theater.

Most concert venues have had this in place for months.
My daughter needed a negative PCR test to play at her own concert since she wasn’t of age in time to be vaccinated (MCYO at Strathmore). If you can’t get a test, and you’re not vaccinated, you won’t be let in.

Or better yet, get vaccinated. You don't have to test if you're vaccinated. So what's the problem?

Not sure if it’s same at Kennedy center but at The Nutcraxker at Warner, they had a testing table right outside the theater only for ticket holders.

100% but people with kids that aren't fully vax yet still have to show a test. There are family shows tomorrow and CHristmas day at the KC, and its close to impossible to find a test now.

I’m presuming…we didn’t go to the table as we’re had cards but I think it was for rapid testing

Kids 5-11 could easily have been fully vaccinated by now if you vaxxed in the first round. And (unpopular opinion coming) kids under 5 are too little to derive a whole lot from theatre at that age such that the benefit outweighs the difficulty of Covid testing and/or omicron exposure. I say this as a huge theater person who took my kids to all kinds of theater — they didn’t develop appreciation/understanding until 7 or 8 years old.
