Kennedy Center asks judge to pause deadlines in ongoing lawsuit as it explores options for renovation
The center wants extra time to weigh a full closure, limited events or phased repairs before its board votes in mid-July.
- On Friday, Kennedy Center lawyers asked a federal judge for more time to meet lawsuit deadlines, stating the institution plans to "maintain an operational model" after the initially scheduled July 5 shutdown.
- Last month, U.S. District Judge Christopher Cooper indefinitely blocked the Kennedy Center's planned full closure, ruling that a complete shutdown would prevent the venue from carrying out its congressionally mandated activities.
- The Board is evaluating three renovation paths: complete closure, limited events, or phased repairs, with Kennedy Center leaders expecting to present options for a vote in mid-July.
- While the Center intends to keep public spaces accessible, management is not currently committing to scheduling new shows or hiring additional staff despite the court's operational mandate.
- Attorneys for Rep. Joyce Beatty, D-Ohio, argue the Center has not fully complied with the court's order, citing the continued presence of a tarp covering the area where Trump's name was removed.
