Individual Involvement - Special Events for Members

As a benefit of Circles Membership, Special Events provide members with opportunities to meet the Kennedy Center's most respected and talented performers. Members receive invitations to these events according to their level of giving and have the opportunity to attend many Special Events each year. Cast Parties, National Symphony Orchestra working rehearsals, backstage tours, Artist Insider Events, and ballet dress rehearsals are just some of the Special Events available each year to Kennedy Center Circles Members.

Cast Parties

A benefit of Circles Membership, Cast Parties are magnificent events that bring members and performers together in a festive setting. Following an evening's performance, Circles members attend a reception in honor of the cast and company at which they can mingle freely with cast members. Eminent guests, elegant decorations, and delicious hors d'oeuvres make every Cast Party a night to remember.

Dinner with the Artists

Twice a year, members at the Producers' Circle and higher can enjoy an intimate meal with prominent guest artists discussing their craft and answering your questions. Come and enjoy these special evenings and learn more about the artists and art forms you love.
