Does The Kennedy Center Encourage or Discourage Stagedooring?

Well, I'm FINALLY seeing Ragtime tomorrow (I've had tickets for months and I'm so excited) with my little sister. We'd love to stagedoor the show, because my sister's never seen a professional actor in person before.

I've only stagedoored one time-- at The Little Mermaid-- and I feel a closer connection to that show than any of the others I've been to because of that. However, I really felt like TLM encouraged stagedooring (there was actually a TV spot on Disney channel about it!), and while I've been to loads of shows at the Kennedy Center, I've never noticed a stagedoor accessible to the public or seen people stagedooring.

Has anyone stagedoored at the Kennedy Center, and if so, what was the stagedooring group like and how were the actors' attitudes toward it? And... where is it?

I've stage doored at the Opera House with no problem.

Is the Eisenhower stage door outside or is it inside like the Opera House Stage door?

eh-hemmm, the only one???

Can someone please describe where the stage door is? Is it on the outside on the north side of the building?

Thanks!

Go out the door from the lobby onto the patio that faces the Potomac River. Turn right and walk around the side of the building that faces Georgetown (north). Walk most of the way toward the front of the KC where you will find the stage door, which is clearly marked.

When I stage doored there I found around 25 people, most friends or family members there to meet performers after the show. There were only three other people seeking autographs. Everyone was friendly and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy. Enjoy!

Yeah. It's not as big of a thing outside of NY, but they certainly don't discourage it in any way. There were a lot of people there last night; it seemed to be mostly friends and family, but plenty of people were asking for autographs and photos, too.

Pah, I just came back from the show. I absolutely loved it, but I was too shy to stagedoor, especially if I was going to be one of the only ones there. I was so worried that I'd bother the cast members, especially after that awkward scene between Younger Brother and Evelyn Nesbit.

This is my first time even thinking about this... If there's a 2p and an 8p show, will they only come out after the last one, or after each?

is the stage door, the same stage door for both the eisenhower theatre and the terrace theatre?



If not - where do i find the stage door for the terrace theatre?
