I should hope someone in a position of authority at the Kennedy Center cares.
Forty million dollars in debt is inexcusable.

Nonprofits like the Kennedy Center rely heavily on contributions, grants, and fundraising efforts to offset operating costs. They often run annual deficits that are balanced by pledged or incoming donations, endowment draws, and other long-term funding streams.

I'm starting to think that shows like Hamilton and Fellow Travelers that have strong progressive/liberal themes and messages should NOT cancel. Why make it so easy for the bigots? That way the the administration would either have to cancel the show themselves and then have to explain the censorship OR let them perform, which would probably make quite a few MAGA heads on the Board explode. I mean wouldn't it be fun to see the KC PR office or Richard Grenell try to spin the Hamilton cancellation into a poor-ticket-sales narrative?

And who have gotten no support from the major nyc and national nonprofit cultural organizations who are deluding themselves into thinking that by keeping their mouths shut Trump will go after their colleagues and not themselves.

I can’t find any other news source verifying details for that, but the event does have an official website and it’s pretty obvious it’s amateur hour. It is not an official Kennedy Center or White House-sponsored event, but rather a rental by MAGA supporters who are not part of the administration, and according to a note on the site appears to have been canceled by the KC itself just this week.
