Kennedy Center Confirms More Than 20 Show Cancellations Or Postponements Since Donald Trump’s Takeover


"Hamilton" And "Eureka Day" are among the shows dropped from the schedule.

In the immediate aftermath, figures such as Issa Rae canceled their shows, and Ben Folds and Renee Fleming withdrew as advisers.
