To commemorate their 60th anniversary, Alvin Ailey American Dance Theater presents Timeless Ailey at New York City Center. The program brings together over a dozen highlights from Ailey's rich body of work, including rare pieces like Mary Lou's Mass and The Lark Ascending as well as favorites like Memoria, Night Creature, and Cry.

Ailey’s New York City Center season of premieres and returning favorites continues through December 30, with Timeless Ailey performances – which close with Ailey’s famed Revelations – on December 22 and 30. The retrospective program will subsequently play Miami and Atlanta in February during the Company’s North American tour.
