Pls don’t cancel your Kennedy center tickets

[Anonymous]

Sorry OP. Refuse to do that, HOWEVER Please support Arena Stage and other local theaters instead. We have season tix there and it’s never full. If we send more money elsewhere, they’ll hire the ticket takers and performers.

“Known nazi” is beyond farce and feels like you maaayyyybe need to have someone point out to you what actually Nazis did so that you don’t continue to insult the memories of the 6 million Jews who were brutally tortured and MURDERED under the Nazi regime.

Mean words that result in someone’s hurt feelings or passing laws and drafting policies that you disagree with or even “put lives at risk” (as goes the argument) may well be something to get upset about and protest. That’s all fine.
But you really need to make this its own argument rather than use hyperbolic comparisons to the world’s worst mass atrocities to make your point.
Otherwise you just look like a literal clown.

DP. Are you not paying attention? They’re doing Nazi salutes, just fired a black general for a white one, and have openly said that white South Africans are allowed to immigrate to the US. Europe has said they would be jailed for those salutes. They are literally talking about eugenics. They said black immigrants were eating pets to advance their political campaign. Trump talked about black jobs. Wake up!

Audience members are going to stop or at least reduce attendance not only because they want to protest what Trump has done but also because a lot of performers are pulling out. If the list of performers willing to perform there drastically decreases then of course audience attendance will decline.

👏👏👏 she and Hilary are friends.

Only way to show disapproval is not to go, even if you have tickets.

Which show? I used to love the KC, but it's been a very long time since any of their programming has interested me.

Thank you.

And if those 6 million Jews (and gays and others) were alive right now, they'd be reminding you that Nazis didn't start with death camps and that their initial rise looked JUST LIKE THIS. Who do you think they'd be more insulted by: those of us who are so horrified by the Holocaust that we are vigilant against and resistant to even a whiff of similar dynamics or by people like you who invoke them to excuse and minimize how horrific it is to see public officials repeatedly giving Nazi salutes on national television? I'd rather be an aggressive anti-Nazi clown than a disgusting sympathizer and excuser.

Curious what makes you say this? People voting with their feet or dollars is common. Is there a real reason or just bc you like DT?

I'm not a Trump fan, but I don't see any real evidence of any significant changes except for performers voluntarily cancelling their own shows.
Its over reaction.
And previously, the KC was primarily run by those that supported Democrats.
I'm guessing you were A OK with that?

KC canceled a concert by the Gay Men's Chorus with the NSO that was supposed to happen during World Pride. So, you know...except for that...

What —exactly— was “too leftest”? The NSO? And what would you like to see from the revamp? Will Lee Greenwood’s influence be good for the revamp that you envision?

DP. The Washington Monthy said & Juliet was also wrong, which is why the felon took over — scary effing sh-t that they want to censor speech.

Not going there.
