The iconic Auditorium Theatre (50E. Congress) is rightly regarded asone of the true hotspots for dance inChicago, thanks in large part to themany outstanding companies thatchoose to call it home when they rollout their new seasons.

A case in point arrives this week withthe return of the world-renownedand wholly original Alvin AileyAmerican Dance Theater troupe,which has called the Auditoriumhome for the past 46 years. This pro-gram includes a variety of new worksby renowned choreographers PaulTaylor, Ronald K. Brown, Rennie Har-ris and Artistic Director Robert Bat-tle, as well as new productions ofclassics from the late companyfounder Alvin Ailey (and his master-piece Revelations).
