So what happens now to the resident orchestra of the Kennedy Center, which was loyally hanging on even when the Opera left? Do they have an alternative venue in which to play? Are they being abandoned and likely to disappear from the N.Y. cultural scene?
The late, great, Hannibal Lector, and Arnold Palmer's genitalia are what won Trump the election. Throw in the Gopher from Caddyshack dance, we were helpless to resist such charisma!
I saw the Alvin Ailey Dance troupe at the Kennedy Center twice, in the 1970s. I saw my nephew dance there, twice, before he died, as a student with the Washington Ballet School, under the direction of Septime Weber. I was photographed and featured in a Kennedy Center program brochure while I was in high school. I will NEVER go to the Kennedy Center while it bears the current POTUS' name, because his hubris and overreach, his disrespect for iconic monuments is disgraceful, and a smear on the memory of John fitzgerald Kennedy and JFK's stellar service to our country, and to his family's dedication to the arts.
If the Kennedy Center "renovations" resemble those done to the Oval (Offal) Office, then I can't imagine how anyone will be able to watch any shows or plays without having to don very dark glasses to protect their eyes from the glare off all the fake gold doo dads plastered everywhere. Add in the marble arm rests and the inside of that once fine art space is going to figuratively scream "Whaah! Daddy never loved me!"
I went back to read the Kennedy Center piece again. It's terrific, even though it feels like a eulogy — which I guess it really is. I only went to the Kennedy Center a few times, but those are good memories, and I'm so sad to see the place abused this way. My favorite line from the article: "There is no reason that Issa Rae and Jeff Foxworthy and the National Symphony Orchestra and Hamilton and Les Miz and George Strait and Philip Glass and whoever else cannot exist under the same roof." Amen.
