Kennedy Center faces lawsuits and leadership shakeup as renovations loom
TL;DR Summary
On a chaotic Friday, the Kennedy Center announced a two-year renovation shutdown while contending with two lawsuits: it sued jazz drummer Chuck Redd for breach of contract over a canceled Christmas Eve gig, and Rep. Joyce Beatty moved to block President Trump’s plans to close or demolish the center. Amid the upheaval, NSO executive director Jean Davidson said she will resign at the end of March to lead California’s Wallis Annenberg Center, with the orchestra’s funding during renovations still in question.
