Gallery: Ethnos makes in-person return with show ‘Ethnos: The Escape’

November 23, 2021 by Sydney Varner

International Student Association hosted its annual show, Ethnos, Saturday at the Abilene Convention Center. “Ethnos: The Escape” centered around the concept of escape rooms and between each act, the hosts found “keys” to advance to the next “room” to see the next act perform. The show included multiple acts including both students and citizens from the Abilene community.
