6:30 PM | Meet the Artists Conversation

7:30 PM | Alice in Wonderland Performance

10:15 PM | Post-Performance Reception at Rivers Restaurant, 30 S Wacker Dr (across the street from the Lyric)

Get ready for a night of whimsical fun with Alice in Wonderland at the Joffrey Ballet! Prior to the 7:30 pm performance, EarlyWork members are invited to a special Meet the Artists conversation at the Lyric Opera House at 6:30 pm. Meet us at the EarlyWork table in the lobby and we'll point members in the right direction of the conversation!

After the Meet the Artists conversation, we'll plunge down the rabbit hole into the fantastical world of Wonderland as two-time Tony Award®-winning Christopher Wheeldon brings Lewis Carroll's whimsical adventure to the stage with a modern twist. Immersed within Joby Talbot's hallucinatory soundworld of sweeping melodies and ticking clocks, with Tony Award®-winning designer Bob Crowley's vibrant stagecraft and puppetry, Wheeldon makes Wonderland wonderfully real in this audience-favorite dance adventure.

Following the performance, EarlyWork members are invited to a post-show reception hosted by The Joffrey Ballet's Generation J at nearby Rivers Restaurant. Enjoy food and drinks while rubbing shoulders with Joffrey dancers and artists!
