With a capacity of just over 450 seats, clean sightlines, and clear acoustics, the Kennedy Center Terrace Theater is one of the world’s finest venues in which to enjoy the intimacy of song recitals. Renewing Full subscribers can either retain seats identical to the ones they had purchased for the 2019-2020 season, or request a change by contacting us directly. Please be aware that all indoor performances will be sold at full capacity. This means there will be no physical distancing within the Terrace Theater, and you will have patrons sitting directly next to, in front of, and behind you. We will make every best effort to accommodate requests for seat changes, but please note that COVID-19 safety protocols and procedures mean aisle seat availability is extremely limited.

The Kennedy Center now provides digital programs which will contain the same content as a printed program, but in a convenient and contact-free digital format. Large-print and Braille programs will be available for every performance through the Kennedy Center Accessibility office.

Please visit the Kennedy Center’s Digital Program page for additional information on this new feature.
