The students' display was housed in the windows of Buffalo Place.

Working hard on the display are students Becca Stock (kneeling), Nicholas Taboni (white shirt) and Timothy Swenson (plaid shirt) from the Department of Theatre and Dance's Design and Technology program.

Becca Stock works to attach parchment paper to diffuse the lights.

Nicholas J. Taboni says Buffalo was the inspiration behind the students' design.

Behind the scene.

Buffalo City Hall stands tall in the middle of the display, which also features a heart-accented sunset backdrop. Parchment paper was used to help diffuse the colored lights.

Some last-minute preparations.

After perfecting their work, the students walked around to see the other displays.

While the theaters are closed, the lights still shine bright on Main Street.
