MOMIX Alice
7:30pm @
Emens Auditorium, Ball State University
1800 W Riverside Ave
Cost: Tickets $32, Youth $10 
Travel down the rabbit hole MOMIX-style with Moses Pendleton's newest creation, ALICE, inspired by Alice in Wonderland. As Alice’s body grows and shrinks and grows again, Pendleton’s dancers extend themselves by means of props, ropes, and other dancers.
“I don’t intend to retell the whole Alice story” he says, “but to use it as a taking off point for invention. I’m curious to see what will emerge, and I’m getting curiouser and curiouser the more I learn about Lewis Carroll, who like me was a devoted photographer.”
The Alice story is full of imagery and absurd logic – before there was surrealism there was Alice. Alice is an invitation to invent, to let imagination run and play outside.Aug 23, 2025

Jason Robert Brown’s Songs for a New World is a powerful, genre-blending theatrical experience that lives at the intersection of song cycle and musical. Each number captures a pivotal moment of decision—a leap of faith, a turning point, a chance to change everything. With a dynamic score that fuses pop, gospel, and jazz, the show transports audiences across time and space, from 1492 to modern-day New York. Featuring a small but mighty cast, this moving production explores the heart of transformation and the courage it takes to step into the unknown.
