Theater union angry over proposal to add kiosks at Strathmore But arts center CEO says kiosks would supplement ticket sellers, not replace them By Dan Schere | share this File photo A proposal to add ticket kiosks to Strathmore in North Bethesda as in-person performances return has drawn the ire of a local theater union, which worries that machines would replace employees. But the arts center’s CEO emphasized that kiosks would supplement ticket office workers, not replace them. With Montgomery County lifting COVID-19 restrictions, Strathmore is preparing to start holding in-person performances regularly for the first time since March 2020. An outdoor summer concert series kicks off this weekend with a performance by noted jazz artist Wynton Marsalis on Sunday at Strathmore’s patio stage.
