Alice in Wonderland

Hyde Park School of Dance, now in its 31st year of training, performance, and community, presents Alice in Wonderland, returning after its successful revival in 2024. Performances are March 7 and 8 at Kennedy-King College, 740 West 63rd Street, Chicago.

 “Our performances of Alice in Wonderland will be a fun experience for all ages,” said HPSD Founding Artistic Director August Tye. “Younger children will enjoy seeing this familiar story come to life with dancers of all ages and levels, showing young children that they too have a chance be in a pre-professional performance.”

Based on the classic Lewis Carroll story and characters, Alice in Wonderland was first produced by the Kalamazoo Ballet in 1991. Tye created the choreography; Kalamazoo Ballet Artistic Director developed the story, designed the costumes and chose the music, Johann Strauss’s Aschenbrodel. After founding HPSD, Tye brought Alice to her students in 2001 and revived it again in 2003, 2009 and 2024.
