Everyone who knows mother-and-daughter Marisa and Hannah Bontrager’s work in the ballet world knows that they come up with some pretty amazing productions, including many that feature their original choreography.

Those same people also know that Ballet Fantastique’s performances in the Soreng Theater at the Hult Center for the Performing Arts in downtown Eugene pretty much always sell out, meaning that anyone who waits until the last minute before finding out about their shows or deciding to attend them often goes away disappointed.

That initially appeared to be the case also with their latest offering, “Alice in Wonderland Remix” — the evening performances on May 11 and 12 and the matinee on May 13 have just a few stray tickets remaining among them.

But wait — Just in time for Mother’s Day, Ballet Fantastique has added one more performance, at 7:30 p.m. on May 13, and there are still lots of seats left from which to choose.

Ballet Fantastique’s “Alice in Wonderland”

When: 7:30 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, May 11 and 12; 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 12; and 7:30 p.m. on Sunday, May 13

Where: Soreng Theater, Hult Center for the Performing Arts, One Eugene Center (Seventh and Willamette streets in downtown Eugene)

Details: This Mother’s Day weekend, choreographer-producers Donna and Hannah Bontrager present a bold, splashy, and playful new ballet that crosses genres and defies expectations. “Alice in Wonderland: Remix” brings the vivid visions of Lewis Carroll to life, combining BFan’s dance theater with an electro-swing soundtrack and a steampunk twist. An exhilarating, daredevil score of original music from Eugene’s High Step Society takes Alice through a raucous journey filled with theatrical invention, puppetry, and playful costumes.

Tickets: $39.75, $54.50, and $76, available at the Hult Center box office, 541-682-5000, or online at hultcenter.org (service charge on online orders)
