Not everyone in the District will be headed to the malls this “Black Friday.” At least that is what Meg Booth, director of dance programming at the Kennedy Center, hopes. “We don’t typically have matinees on the Friday after Thanksgiving,” she said. “But is there a better time to spend with your family after you’ve just had a big turkey dinner?”

Booth is referring to the Joffrey Ballet’s performances of the Robert Joffrey staging of “The Nutcracker” being performed at the Kennedy Center Opera House this holiday season.
