Welcome to the REACH | The Kennedy Center
Join Rose Kennedy Schlossberg, John F. Kennedy's granddaughter, in this exploration of The REACH -- the Kennedy Center's transformative new expansion. “If art is to nourish the roots of our culture, society must set the artist free to follow his vision wherever it takes him.”—John F. Kennedy John F. Kennedy’s vision was to set the artist free. Free to reach beyond hallowed halls and sacred walls into creative open spaces where audiences can reach back and connect with the art and the artist who created it. That’s why we created the REACH. The REACH is a living theater where diverse art forms collide to break down the boundaries between audience and art. It is an immersive learning center, a public incubator, and a set of dynamic, collaborative spaces where art happens so close audiences can reach out and touch it. Envisioned as a complement to, and extension of, the Kennedy Center’s mission, the REACH is an open stage for differing ideas and divergent cultures, delivering on a vision for what a 21st century arts center should be—inclusive, accessible, and interactive. Regular activities within the REACH will include club-style performances, a Learning Lab that welcomes students and visitors to explore hands-on arts experiences, and social events, as well as festivals, outdoor films, art installations, youth programs, and exhibitions. The REACH opens to the public on September 7, 2019, with a two-week-long celebration that features free campus-wide activities, indoor and outdoor performances and events, and extensive opportunities for the public to explore Washington’s newest cultural destination. More info: https://reach.kennedy-center.org/about/ Join us for the REACH Opening Festival - September 7-22, 2019. https://cms.kennedy-center.org/festivals/reach/ Subscribe to The Kennedy Center! http://bit.ly/2gNFrtb

Blue: The Father | A Kennedy Center Digital Stage Original
What is it like to be both a black father and a police officer in America? Kenneth Kellogg, a D.C. native who plays the Father in Blue, learns lessons from a police officer. The story of the Washington National Opera's "Blue" is an extremely personal one for Kenneth. Having a young son himself, playing the role of a father comes naturally to him. But, to learn to play a police officer, he needed help from retired police officer Frank Riley. Watch as Kenneth reveals why this opera is so personal for him and learns more about the issues at the heart of Blue. "Blue" - The Opera "Blue" brings audiences into the emotional epicenter of an African-American couple — a father (who is a police officer) and a mother — who lose their teenage son when he is killed by a fellow police officer. Music by Jeanine Tesori / Libretto by Tazewell Thompson Co-Production with The Glimmerglass Festival and Lyric Opera of Chicago Tony Award®–winning composer Jeanine Tesori and NAACP Theatre Award–winning librettist Tazewell Thompson’s new opera inspired by contemporary events and Black literature, including Ta-Nehisi Coates’s Between the World and Me and James Baldwin’s The Fire Next Time. Jeanine's signature and genre-blending style and vivid flashbacks capture the grief of a family and community navigating the turbulent waters of loss at the hands of police. Exploring race, violence, and reconciliation, Blue places timely issues at the forefront of modern opera and invites audiences to the emotional epicenter of their impact.
