The auto-reply to messages sent to her professional email address reads: "Sarah Kramer is no longer an employee of the Kennedy Center." Kramer was terminated after first starting at the Kennedy Center as an assistant manager for special programming in 2016. She did not provide a reason for her firing, and the Kennedy Center has not yet responded to requests for comment. Kramer's firing comes just one day after another high-profile Kennedy Center hire quit after less than two weeks on the job. Prior to being hired at the Kennedy Center, Couch ran his branding firm CBC Creative, and previously worked as a manager of various musical acts including 1990's R&B group Color Me Badd.
