No, no, no- just shut the doors and walk

I hope a lot of respectable artists refuse to perform there now

They won't invite any respectable artists. 😐

At least somebody is standing up to the bullying

lesliesherman.bsky.social•66 days ago

I guess it doesn’t really matter….everyone is quitting and the artists are cancelling their shows and refunding tickets.
Guess it really IS gonna be Kid Rock, Lara Trump and The Village People

yippiehh.bsky.social•66 days ago

In Germany we called it "entartete Kunst", persecuted the artists and sent them to concentration camps.

jenn11sb.bsky.social•66 days ago

Sadly, this may bring the demise of the beloved Kennedy Center. Most Maga neither live in the DC area nor can they afford tickets. So very sad.

rescuemefromsc.bsky.social•66 days ago

Theater without LGBTQ. Yeah, that should really be good, right?

It would certainly be a first

He was a Trump

just like the Nazi campaign in the 30's against "degenerate art".

patfeb55.bsky.social•66 days ago

Lots of Kid Rock performances in the offing? Good seats still available...

donnacoop-onyx.bsky.social•66 days ago

yes that place is sadly canceled for 4 years .

vickiecarey.bsky.social•66 days ago

To be so insecure that just allowing alt-views in the theater you might attend one day in the future, is just ridiculous. How completely weak these people are.

Trump is not a creator, he is a destroyer. He despises the creative ones who do things he is incapable of. He destroys their work out of spite.

t-niedziela.bsky.social•66 days ago

And, for what reason other than to make himself look good? Which is impossible, BTW.

donnadmv.bsky.social•66 days ago

Unfortunately the problem with America is that a lot was done on the honor system and we didn’t realize it. It was expected that Americans would elect Presidents who followed written and unwritten traditions and rules. Trump doesn’t. He didn’t touch the KC last time, but he’s empowered now.

noreen900.bsky.social•66 days ago

coachn.bsky.social•66 days ago

My understanding that in addition to the shows cancelled, 4 other shows that were going to be at the KenCen this year cancelled.

My hope is that perhaps the DMV arts community can rally to find new venues for some/all of these. As a long-time KenCen member, I would go out of my way to support them.

stevespencer.bsky.social•66 days ago

Kid Rock is going to have a great show at the Kennedy Center for the Scott Bao honors event

dhoven.bsky.social•66 days ago

I read some celebs are canceling their performances in response to Trump's takeover. How about instead they change their shows to include the groups Trump is trying to cancel. No need to tell the Kennedy Center ahead of time. Let it be a surprise.

jamesneill.bsky.social•66 days ago

But I must admit I’m curious to see exactly what counts as “cultural” to Trump.

kktray.bsky.social•66 days ago

The theatre community will leave this venue for the duration of this fascist regime. JFK stood for NOTHING this flaccid, fragile, piece of feces has to offer. They’ll get D list performers to do The Producers on loop.

pampalmeresq.bsky.social•66 days ago

It’s so much easier to accept those who differ from you. If you don’t want to attend their events, then don’t. They’re not hurting you one bit.

Yet, these GD White Christian Nationalists feed on Hate & Division. It’s exhausting, & so very unnecessary.

kianrazi.bsky.social•66 days ago

The Kennedy Center: now 100% less culture, 100% more censorship. The only diversity on display is in their crony photo op. We're witnessing a masterclass in erasing progress. Who needs art when you've got a "chair" who prefers empty seats to real change?

elizabeth11364.bsky.social•66 days ago

He won't live forever and then we'll rebuild

mommcmd.bsky.social•66 days ago

It'd be more cost-effective to not tear it down in the first place.

elizabeth11364.bsky.social•66 days ago

Agreed but without any private parts on any GOP they seem deteemined to do so. 🙄

mediawarrior.bsky.social•66 days ago

Rebuild will be Hella Gay x1000. Once the jackboot is removed their bullshit "morality" dissolves away quickly.

wwells.bsky.social•66 days ago

Not to worry. "Scott Baio: A One-Man Show" awaits.

finkeldoppler.bsky.social•66 days ago

You just KNOW that's in the cards. It'll happen within the month, when they announce it's closing for remodeling (i.e. because all prior bookings have been cancelled and they need a PR move.)

deb2468.bsky.social•66 days ago

The public should go elsewhere for entertainment. Make it one more business he destroys.

xprophetess.bsky.social•66 days ago

Can someone explain how it is that politicians can interfere in the governance of this institution? As a not-for-profit shouldn't it be at arms length from government even if it receives public funding?

mmorgenschoen.bsky.social•66 days ago

yeah. but … in 2017 recipients of the kennedy center honors refused to attend a reception at the white house. now trump is taking revenge.

https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/trump-skip-kennedy-center-honors-amid-boycott-threat/story?id=49308996

xprophetess.bsky.social•65 days ago

Trump was serious when he spoke of retribution and he'll remember all slights.

And I'm betting the next honors recipients will be Trump supporters.

mmorgenschoen.bsky.social•65 days ago

So…no more Oscar Wilde, Tennessee Williams, or Shakespeare in the Kennedy Center?

Note: Traditionally all the roles in Shakespeare’s plays were played by men—IOW they were drag shows.

And many plays, operas & Shakespeare comedies have at least one female character dressed as a man or vice versa.

elizabeth-v.bsky.social•66 days ago

Purging the arts exactly the way their nazi predecessors did in the 1930s. Fascists always come after the arts, they themselves are uncreative and incapable of the thought and imagination necessary to create real art, so they just destroy it like the dead-eyed ghouls that they are.

jojagg.bsky.social•66 days ago

nojustdan.bsky.social•66 days ago

Fascist always try to destroy the arts. The arts can stand up to them without saying a word.

Hence, why the Nazi’s hated Kendrick Lamar….and they’re too dim to understand the symbolism.

laluneargent.bsky.social•66 days ago

Several artists are already cancelling their scheduled performances because they refuse to be a part of this BS.

Pretty soon the only artists willing to perform there will be people like Ted Nugent, Kid Rock, Kanye, Jason Aldean, and the like. Turning into Kennedy Center for the Un-Arts.

Disgusting. And it frightens me a little how quickly I think that in a world with Cabinet officials like RFK Jr., Hegseth, Gabbard, Vought, and Bondi, and the illegal DOGE and Musk, losing gay content at a theater feels like small potatoes. And yet it’s huge! It’s like we’re in Hungary!

Margaret Atwood was asked how she could write the Handmaid's Tale. She said she just drew on the history of misogyny. Trump is now part of that history. Under His Eye.

A completely empty theater is next. Don't support it anymore

Trump will replace the artists at the Kennedy Center with Z-level performers. The absolute dregs.

Wait, didn't he put Richard Grenell in charge? So there's one gay guy. https://playbill.com/article/trump-says-richard-grenell-will-be-named-interim-executive-director-of-the-kennedy-center

Issa Rae: Thank you for standing up for your values.

Yes! No one with any integrity shall walk through those doors until this bullshit is over!!!

shutzy55.bsky.social•66 days ago

Trump SO desperate to be seen as a classy guy. Ha! Al Capone had more class. He’s a pig. No class at all and taking over the Kennedy Center ain’t gonna make any difference. What a putz.

For being so rich, tRump and Musky both look like trash!

shutzy55.bsky.social•66 days ago

Don’t they?? Trump looks like he has to take Adderall just to stay awake! And, Musk is just unattractive. Period.

sassenach-3.bsky.social•66 days ago

They are both ugly. Inside and out.

shutzy55.bsky.social•66 days ago

Totally. Sick in their heads. Sick in their souls (if they have one).

sassenach-3.bsky.social•66 days ago

They are definitely soulless. Disgusting.

Presumably Grennel will be witchfinder general

pre3chorded.bsky.social•59 days ago

What's weird is Grennel is Trump's lone gay friend. He got the artsy Kennedy center because he was DEI hire.

How soon before Baio, Woods and Sorbo are doing one man shows to fill the void?

spartantouch.bsky.social•66 days ago

Soon their will be a casting call for the new performance of “Donald Trump Super Star”

stoptheplanet.bsky.social•66 days ago

How do you have arts without LBGT+ people?

betsy-cazden.bsky.social•66 days ago

May it be an empty cavern, with no programs and no public events, in which the new "Chairman" can wander and talk to the walls and portraits as Nixon is reputed to have done in his final mad days in the White House.

So what kind of events will the Kennedy Center have now? “Up With People”?
