The company comes calling this weekend, performing two shows, each with distinct programs, including Ronald Brown’s Grace, one of the more captivating and popular productions; Episodes by choreographer Ulysses Dove, a deeply interpersonal, emotionally tense performance; and Revelations with original choreography by the late Alvin Ailey himself to a background of gospel and blues.
