Kennedy Center Calls Off Opening Weekend for Heist’s Rooftop Nightclub | Eater DC

"I saw that the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts called off plans to host the first weekend of a “lounge pop-up” on its rooftop terrace — the opening night had been set for October 3 — saying it needed more time to evaluate whether the outdoor rental would meet the building’s health and safety standards and the city’s latest reopening guidelines. The Center clarified that its participation in the city’s live-entertainment pilot is separate from its collaboration with Heist, noted that its recent return to hosting live performance at reduced capacity required months of rigorous planning, and emphasized that it holds outside parties renting its spaces to the same high level of scrutiny and precautionary planning." - Gabe Hiatt
