[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Shen Yun website specifically references spirituality, specific Eastern religions, and the oppression of Falun Dafa due to their beliefs. Why would you assume this production should be completely secular? It's not the role of the Kennedy Center to censor or provide warnings about religious content, or any content with which you may not agree.[/quote]

How many times do you “research” a production company before booking something at the Kennedy Center. Most reasonable adults assume that TKC doesn’t promote cults.

NP: I do.  If I’m going to see a play, or dance performance, I look up reviews. If I’m going to hear music, I look up reviews and see if there are videos up on YouTube. Something would have to spark my interest before I’d order the tickets, so it would be on me if I decided to order tickets for a performance based on zero information.

The OP apparently tried Google, so I can only encourage them to realize that if I had the kinds of concerns that the OP does, even a cursory glance at the most easily found information would have nudged me to dig a little deeper to determine what all of the readily available to the point of being in-your-face references to things like “divine beings dancing” might mean. The OP “doesn’t want to let it go.” I’m not really sure what that means. Do they want to warn others —who, like them, are easily stunned and fail to do adequate research? Get a refund for the tickets they bought without knowing what they were buying? Blame the Kennedy Center for not screening their wide range of varied offerings according to the OP’s personal and idiosyncratic preferences? Something else?

The KC descriptions/videos are sufficient for every show I’ve seen.

Why can’t TKC provide an accurate description? What’s the issue with wanting that?

I told you what I would do. If, according to you, the KC descriptions are “sufficient for every show you’ve seen”  — then I’d guess that [b]the descriptions of this show are sufficient for the vast majority of people who go to see the show[/b].  It’s on you, if you have a particular idiosyncratic concern, to do whatever research you feel you need to do. It’s not up to the KC to magically provide what you personally would consider an “accurate description “— because of your personal concerns. The “issue with wanting that” is that you seem to expect something magically tailored to your particular needs.
tldr: They did their bit. [/quote]
You are right to say that the bolded part is just your guess, not something that you can be sure of. On the other hand, I am pretty sure that many people in the large cities where they do these fundraisers would not show up for the show if they knew where their money goes. I have people in my extended family who asked me "Didn't you know that they were Trump supporters? Didn't you know they are behind Epoch Times?" There are many people who would not buy the tickets if they had that information. [/quote]
