I had been in the camp of I would possibly continue to attend some events to support the artists and remaining staff. I hadn't bought any tickets but hadn't mentally ruled it out.

This is the nail in the coffin though. I'm not going.

I do wonder what will become of it. It's awful. Ticket sales are already in the crapper and this will make it worse.

Yes they can't get any decent shows in there. I feel very sorry for the Opera and Symphony, I know it's not their fault, but just, no way.

They are getting first The Outsiders national tour. Which I would like to see. But not going.

The symphony performers, I don't know what happens to them. Playing at Wolf Trap is not going to keep them afloat. I think their only hope is big R donors subsidize the whole operation and keep them going playing to low attendance. But is it even their priority to keep the symphony? If it's a total loss for them maybe they all just get fired.

The National Theatre has SO many better touring broadway shows. Shame on Outsiders for booking TKC. Their loss.

Save the lectures for your mirror. It's a post about the Kennedy Center.

Given the administration's war on LGBTQ+ community, its a shock artists in that community will continue to perform there.

Angelina Jolie is one of the producers too. Disappointing.

Not everyone can sip their lattes and scroll the internet and keep up their principles like we can.

Look these are working artists. It is ROUGH out there. They do not need judgment about what they might have to do to make a living at their profession.

Thanks! This made me chuckle.

Another chuckle if the “Boo!” sounds like the old woman in Princess Bride. Plus, I’d buy that horn.

There's a time where you stand up or you don't. Period.

He saved it from financial ruin? Aren't tickets sales down 50%. I assume it is big busses of tourist's.
