Kennedy Center weighs phased reopening after court blocks full two-year closure
TL;DR
A federal judge blocked the Kennedy Center’s plan for a full two-year closure for renovations, and the venue says it will operate in a limited mode after July 5 with public spaces open but stages largely silent; the center will present renovation options to the board for a mid-July vote, including partial closures and continued access, while critics argue the campus could effectively shutter if programming isn’t restored.
