Emails obtained by The Washington Post reveal efforts by Rick Canny to gain greater authority over the operations of the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Canny has played a significant role in shaping the institution since the early days of President Donald Trump’s involvement.
The Kennedy Center is currently dealing with a closed building and a sparse events calendar. In response, it has appointed an experienced figure from the entertainment industry as its artistic director. This appointment formalizes the role of an individual who has been instrumental in restructuring the center’s programming, ticketing, and business operations since Trump’s takeover.
This strategic move marks a new chapter for the Kennedy Center as it seeks to adapt and thrive under Canny’s leadership and vision during challenging times for the performing arts venue.
