The New Mexico State University Theatre Department’s original production “Tracer” follows six students who become ill at a Halloween party and the contract tracer who investigates. The play, which runs 50 minutes with an optional post-show discussion with the audience, is being lived streamed at 7 p.m. each evening, Wednesday-Wednesday, Nov. 11-18. “On stage, your senses are alive,” said Theatre Department Assistant Professor Nichole Hamilton, who directed the play. “But in Zoom I feel like we have to use our imagination much more.” To purchase tickets to view “Tracer” online, visit https://tinyurl.com/nmsu-showtix2021.
