Pros

The John F Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts was/is the most wonderful place to showcase arts.

Cons

The changes that have happened are atrocious and have taken away the wonderful variety for show and patrons that graced the hall and theaters. It is sad to see this place died a slow horrible death because of jealousy.
