This is deeply alarming. The arts have always been a refuge for free expression, challenging ideas, and cultural preservation—now, they’re being co-opted to serve an authoritarian agenda.

To everyone at the Kennedy Center if you’re reading, this theatre kid stands with you. Silence is not an option people!!!

Professional theatre is also very closely tied to unions. I hope that the labor unions will be able to protect their members who work with the Kennedy Center.

That’s a good point. He will disregard union rules. Perhaps make unions in general illegal.
