Kennedy Center staffers were blindsided by President Donald Trump’s abrupt announcement that he is closing the iconic venue for two years to renovate it.
Staff learned of the closure, scheduled to begin on July 4, from the president’s rambling Truth Social post on Sunday evening, according to multiple reports, including CNN.
It remains unclear how many staff members, if any, the center will continue to employ during its closure. Kennedy Center President Richard Grenell told the team in an email Sunday night that “we will have more information about staffing and operational changes in the coming days,” according to The Washington Post.
