What better way to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Lewis Carroll’s Alice in Wonderland than in a Brooklyn cemetery; Greenwood Cemetery, at 500 25th St. at Fifth Avenue in Greenwood Heights to be exact! (Rabbit hole not included.)  The story-book event that has ticket-holders travel around the Brooklyn cemetery, is set to include musical performances, dancers and other various artist every Thursday, Friday and Saturday in June, at 7:30PM.
Greenwood set the bar pretty high for events. I mean, who else could’ve thought about a more advantageous way to utilize this 177-year-old space. As Lewis Carroll once said “Imagination is the only weapon in the war against reality,” and we couldn’t have agreed more.
“It is such a robust experience and something you do not get sitting in a theater. It is the idea of using Greenwood as a wonderland and surreal landscape,” Chelsea Dowell, manager of programs and membership at the cemetery, told Brooklyn Daily.

An iconic musical piece to be performed by Grammy award winning guitarist, Vernon Reid, is dedicated to Eric Garner, the Staten Island father of six who was held in a chokehold by police officers, resulting in him suffocating to death. Each performer that was selected to participate in the anniversary celebration, has found a way to connect their craft with what’s socially and politically happening in the world.
There’s still time to get your tickets at $25 in advance ($30 at the door).
And if live performances are just not your thing, Greenwood host other events, open to the public that include special seasonal events, themed-walking and trolley tours, and book talks.
