The Kennedy Center can only rely on ticket sales, donations, and grants to fund its performances and support the union arts workers on stage, in the orchestra pit, and behind the scenes who make these shows happen. Congressional funding is specifically designated for building upkeep.

As proud union singers, musicians, stagehands, wardrobe professionals, and many more, we ensure every Washington National Opera performance at the Kennedy Center shines.

We are the union arts workers on stage, in the box office, and behind the scenes who ensure that every Kennedy Center NSO performance is a world-class experience.

Ahead of critical negotiations next year, we're joining together with other behind-the-scenes entertainment unions to jointly advocate for the workers who earn a living at the Kennedy Center in Washington, D.C.

We are the union actors, dancers, singers, musicians, stage managers, and behind-the-scenes workers who earn a living at the Kennedy Center. We are proud members of @actorsequity.bsky.social, @afm-union.bsky.social, @weareagma.bsky.social, and @iatse.bsky.social.
