The COVID-19 pandemic has taken a toll on musicians and performers, as well as members of the community who seek out live music and theater. 

On Oct. 15, Hancher Auditorium took up the challenge to create socially distanced performances, enchantingly illuminating the building and grounds and setting up ingenious performance and viewing spaces.

Quixotic, the organization that helped open the auditorium in 2016, designed an array of spots outside the building  where UI student performers were highlighted.
