[quote=Anonymous]Are people really that stupid that they think there have been no ongoing renovations/upkeep of the Kennedy Center since 1971?  Approximately $40 million is spent annually for ongoing maintenance.

I've been to the Kennedy Center several times over the past few years, most recently in January. Everything looked amazing. No crumbling facade, no out of order elevators or bathrooms.

People are crazy if they think the Kennedy Center was just sitting idle prior to Trump. All buildings undergo routine maintenance, and there were major renovations to the parking lot, concert hall, and opera house under Clinton and Bush, as well as a major expansion under Obama/Biden in 2014.

Ticket sales are down by almost 50%.

The programming seems pretty lame. Usually they have a big-name play once or twice per year. We've previously seen The Lion King, Rent, Book of Mormon, and Wicked there. There's nothing like that now.
