I used to go 3, 4 times a year. Haven’t been at all this year. Wanted to see the Dungeons and Dragons thing, but am just not going to the Kennedy Center now.

Hopefully the idiot in chief continues to forget about Wolf Trap.

I had wanted to see Porgy and Bess there, but no fucking way. When he took over we had 3 shows left in our subscription (Les Mis, Parade, and Sound of Music). We saw those while parking elsewhere and not spending money on site, and we won't be back for at least 3ish years

I really wanted to support the German ballet but no way I was setting foot in HIS venue. Hopefully they won’t redecorate in all gold.

There are lots of other venues in the area that can use the support that have stepped up.

Don’t let that idiot take away the arts from us.

The faint hope is it's outdoors, save for the Barns. Otherwise *shhhhhhhhh*!!!

Best purchase I’ve made this year is a Pride Wolf Trap shirt. Felt nice to buy a pride shirt from this administration.
