Upstate theatre was well represented this past weekend at the 53rd Annual South Carolina Theatre Association Annual Convention culminating with a near-total sweep by Market Theatre Company at the Community Theatre Festival.
After ending their original run on the Market stage in Anderson in October, The 39 Steps team traveled to Francis Marion University in Florence, SC to perform in the beautiful FMU Performing Arts Center.
