For folks who were bummed about the changes implemented last year, look away! Though perhaps this is a good opportunity to reasses the under utilization of Carter Barron and maybe this’ll come out better all around when repairs are made.
@madcapdc @PoPville I 110% believe this could work. Private rebuild would allow for time to properly engage ownership rights transfer, too.

@madcapdc @PoPville @930Club I love the idea of IMP being able to book it, too.

From NPS:
“As the result of a recent structural assessment, the National Park Service has determined that the Carter Barron Amphitheatre stage has structural deficiencies and cannot safely support the weight of performances. This means there will not be concerts or other performances at the Carter Barron this summer.
We know how much the community loves the Carter Barron, and we are working to get it back in action as soon as possible. We invite you to join us for concerts at Fort Dupont Park’s Summer Theatre while we address this important safety issue.
We will continue to share information as we have it. Updates will be posted here on our website.
Which option are you pursuing, and why?
We investigated options, including short- and long-term repairs, and determined that rehabilitating the stage (Option 3) is the best choice. This option would ensure that the amphitheatre meets all current codes and is accessible for all, and it would last for 75 to 100 years.
We remain committed to finding solutions to preserve this amphitheatre and will keep you informed as we move forward.”
