This. "We fired everyone with the most political statements ever, disparaged their character, and now you won't come watch apolitically with us? Stop politicizing everything!"

There was a KC musician on our community board giving away FREE tickets to the Steve Jobs musical on Fri and Sat night. I’m sure she wasn’t the only one. Can you imagine that happening before, on the best nights? LOL. I smells desperation.

Hmm. I don't think the Broadway performers are rich people.

I am not rich and I used to attend Kennedy Center often. KC offered a lot of free programs. I am not sure they still do as I have not been back post Covid.

Agreed. You could raze the building tomorrow and it would never affect 99% of DC area residents.

I think he is a fool.

Have you ever actually been to the Kennedy Center? I have. I’ve been to the free, frequent Millennium Stage performances, workshops and performances at the Opera House, the Family Theater, and other stages within the Kennedy Center. The Kennedy Center does an excellent job of offering a wide array of performances at a wide array of price points. That’s probably going to change with Trump, though. PP, perhaps you’re anticipating the Trump changes?

Did you read Grenell's comments about performers?
He was reacting to Les Mis actors who plan to boycott performing on the night Trump attends.
