tRump will bankrupt the Kennedy center
Something he is good at
Revenue from subscriptions for the upcoming season of programming is down 36 percent from last year—dropping from $4.4 million in 2024 to just $2.8 million so far this year, The Washington Post reported, citing data shared by former Kennedy Center employees and confirmed by a current staff member.
Single-ticket sales also dropped 50 percent in April and May, compared with the same period last year, according to The New York Times.
The plummeting sales suggest Trump—despite boasting at a recent board dinner that he had “eliminated DEI initiatives” and “brought back family-friendly programming that will attract large audiences once again”—may have pushed an already struggling institution deeper into financial trouble.
Revenue from theater performances, which Trump vowed to make “non-woke,” took the hardest hit, dropping 82 percent in the first two weeks of the subscription campaign compared to last year.
