The Kennedy Center in D.C. has been cleared after staff and visitors were evacuated earlier Thursday over a reported bomb threat, according to officials.

According to a statement from the Kennedy Center, the threat was targeted at Shen Yun performances; the famed group was slated to open its 2025 season on Thursday.

“Security acted swiftly, following existing protocols,” the statement read. 

Shen Yun Performing Arts said in a statement that the show is still scheduled to begin at 7:30 p.m.

Earlier, the investigation shut down the Rock Creek Parkway between Virginia Ave NW and the Roosevelt Bridge. The parkway has reopened, according to WTOP Traffic.
