"The District of Columbia will close numerous streets near the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts Thursday evening, including the north- and southbound lanes of Rock Creek Parkway from Virginia Avenue, Northwest, to Shoreham Drive, Northwest. The National Symphony Orchestra will present a Brahms and Scriabin program this evening, an event that would not typically prompt road closures. But the center will also also host a premiere of Melania, a documentary about Melania Trump, on Thursday evening."
"The road closures come at a trying time for local motorists contending with arguably navigable thoroughfares as the District struggles to clear "snowcrete" from last weekend's winter storm. Anna Marina Savvidis, Washingtonian's creative director, braved those streets to drive into the office Thursday morning and described very slow going, with unpredictable zipper merges and often one lane out of three available. Add some Melania-adjacent road closures to the equation and you might want to leave now if you hope to get home for dinner."
Numerous streets near the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts will be closed Thursday evening, including north- and southbound lanes of Rock Creek Parkway from Virginia Avenue to Shoreham Drive. The National Symphony Orchestra will perform a Brahms and Scriabin program while the Kennedy Center will host the premiere of Melania, a documentary about Melania Trump. High-profile attendees expected include Waka Flocka Flame, former NYC mayor Eric Adams, and the President. Two after-parties will follow the screening. Road closures coincide with ongoing snowcrete clearing from a recent winter storm, causing slow traffic and unpredictable merges. Closures run roughly 3 PM to 11:30 PM on specified streets, with access limited to attendees, residents, and deliveries.
