Curious if the national theatre will be able to rebook cancelled touring productions into their venue. When does the national theatre usually announce its subscription series?

Has Parade been cancelled yet? I hope they cancel it and find another venue in DC area.

I’m sure the National is suddenly inundated with requests after being second-fiddle to the KenCen for so long. A nice problem for Nederlander to have.

There’s also the Warner Theatres, but that seems like an unlikely venue for large scale productions.

also, also: there's Ford's Theater. i know the logistical issues are significant, but it might be able to pick up some of the slack. Remember Come From Away had a pre-Broadway run there.

It may be fitting (but also somewhat subversive given the venue's history barring Black performers from its stage, though that was changed 70 years ago) to have Hamilton play D.A.R. Constitution Hall. The Washington Opera put on performances there about 20 years ago while the Opera House was being renovated.

But Ford’s is under the National Park Service.

The building itself is owned by the NPS, but the theatre company is independent. So, it’s not like Trump install himself as the chairman.
