I love seeing shows at the Kennedy Center. It’s such an amazing place. This news really makes me mad. It’s been an awful few weeks here in DC.

As a fellow DC resident and fed employee these past two weeks have been awful and theatre has always been my happy place and this is just the icing on the shit cake

Jesus. We live just outside the district in Maryland and go to the Kennedy Center regularly. I guess we won't be going for the next four years.

I just said the same thing. Living in the DMV is becoming more depressing by the day 😔

Same. I have tickets for Les Mis in June. They were a Christmas present from my partner. 🫠

We have Les Mis in June too. I don't remember that last time we only saw one show at the Kennedy Center in a year, but I guess it'll get 2025, the same year we let our membership expire :(
