The Kennedy Center said on June 19 that it is weighing whether to continue operating or partially close after a federal judge last month blocked the center’s planned two-year closure for renovations.
On May 29, Judge Christopher R. Cooper of the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia ordered President Donald Trump’s name to be removed from the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts and barred the federal government from closing the center for renovations.
