If you are at all into ballet, or even if you aren't but are open to it, keep an eye on the ABT show. If they are performing Don Quixote, go see it. It's a great show as a intro to ballet - fun, very athletic, and very approachable.
 
Weak lineup. Never understood why they couldn't have decent concerts here like CY Stephens used to. The only thing I've ever been to at Hancher was my graduation.

Used to catch one or two shows/year at Hancher but at some point the quality in shows started to dip, haven't been back in probably 20 years.
