Kennedy Center president warns staff of cuts

THE KENNEDY CENTER board voted in December to add President Trump's name to the building.

In a Tuesday memo obtained by the Associated Press, Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell told staff that “departments will obviously function on a much smaller scale with some units totally reduced or on hold until we begin preparations to reopen in 2028,” promising “permanent or temporary adjustments for most everyone.”

A Kennedy Center spokesperson declined to comment Wednesday.
