Rep. Joyce Beatty Criticizes Kennedy Center as "Lifeless Husk" Amid Programming Freeze and Renovation Plans
By
Greg Evans
Summary
U.S. Representative Joyce Beatty has criticized the Kennedy Center's management, calling the venue a "lifeless husk" due to a lack of scheduled programming. The Kennedy Center will remain open for now, but no new programming is expected in the immediate future. A court filing reveals three renovation options for the board to consider in mid-July: full closure with no programming, partial closure with limited public access, or a third option not detailed in the excerpt. Beatty also described a tarp at the venue as a "petty act of defiance."
