Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater

Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater is woven into the fabric of Newark—dancing at NJPAC’s opening night 26 years ago, and returning every year since.

Each performance reveals new layers, new depth and new meaning, and has become a Mother’s Day Weekend tradition.

The mixed-repertory program will include the classic, Revelations—a thrilling exaltation of African American cultural heritage set to spirituals, song-sermons, gospel and holy blues.
