Aiken, SC (11/01/2017) — The University of South Carolina Aiken will host the annual S. C. Theater Association Convention, Nov. 2 - 5, in the Etherredge Center and in academic buildings across campus.
"We are proud to once again host this exciting event," said Jack Benjamin, executive director of the Etherredge Center and chair of the USC Aiken Department of Visual & Performing Arts.
