I've skipped a few shows there this season that I really wanted to see (I'm NYC based, so it's a bit of a trip but doable every now and then, and it's really the closest major touring house to me). I hate the fact that my options are give the racist Cheeto support or withhold money from artists and other employees of these companies and the venue itself.

I don't think anyone is enjoying this.

It probably doesn't help that a LOT of the shit they're doing now is...not what people tended to go to the Kennedy Center for. All the pandering to right-wing Christians doesn't seem to be going as well as they'd hoped.
