Kennedy Center hopes coupons will fix toxic Trump takeover

The Kennedy Center has seen better days. Since President Donald Trump stormed into what was once Washington, D.C.’s bipartisan center for the arts and cleared out any semblance of LGBTQ+ or diversity, equity and inclusion, tickets sales are plummeting.

According to the cold, hard data obtained by The New York Times, single-ticket sales were down roughly 50% in April and May compared to the same time last year. And subscriptions, which the Kennedy Center relies on the most for its revenue, is suffering even more.
