USC Aiken’s Department of Visual and Performing Arts will present its ninth-annual Feast of Carols Dec. 6 and 7. Performances will be at 7 p.m. in the lobby of the Etherredge Center. Doors will open at 6:30 p.m.
“As a department, we are trying to build a tradition within the campus and community similar to other holiday traditions, such as watching It’s a Wonderful Life and A Christmas Carol,” said Jack Benjamin, chair of the Department of Visual and Performing Arts. “We invite the community to join in this celebration with us.”
The Feast of Carols combines the elements of dinner theatre and concert into a medieval setting. The University Concert Choir, A’cappella Choir, Wind & Brass ensembles, a Renaissance consort, and strolling minstrels will perform old English madrigals and carols.
“It’s a nice opportunity for the students and faculty of the theatre, music, and art programs to get together and do something fun for the community” said Richard Maltz, an associate professor of music.
This year’s Feast of Carols features a script that includes the Lords and Ladies of Etherredge and a wisecracking steward. “It is going to be a feast for both the appetite and the ears,” said Sandra Field, director of the University Concert Choir.
Tickets are $35 per person. For more information or to reserve tickets, call Brenda Braxton at the Etherredge Center box office at 56-3243 or 56-3305.
