On April 24, 2026, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater will return to their Chicago home at The Auditorium for four performances running across three days.
Commemorating its 57th engagement at the venue, the two programs will debut six new works, featuring city premieres, and capped off by the company’s ‘Revelations.’ Choreographers include Jamar Roberts, Majia Garcia, Frederick Early Mosley, Matthew Neenan, Judith Jameson, and Medhi Walerski.
“This monumental season draws deeply on Alvin Ailey’s legacy rooted in celebrating the resilience of the human spirit, while extending its truth and bold virtuosity to reflect this moment in time and our hopes for the future,’ said Artistic Director Alicia Graf Mack in a press release. “It is an honor to be a caretaker of this ever-changing continuum of inspiration, which is a living testament to the vitality of the tradition Mr. Ailey gave us and the gifts of spirit that Judith Jamison so lovingly nurtured. Along with Matthew Rushing and the company of brilliant dancers whose artistry moves us all, I am proud and excited to be taking our next steps forward on The Auditorium stage, where I and generations of company members have cherished sharing Alvin Ailey’s gift to the world with Chicago audiences.”
