Southside staging “God’s Man in Texas” By LINDSAY BIANCHI It’s a battle of wills, God’s will, that is being staged at the Southside Theatre Guild starting tomorrow night. “God’s Man in Texas,” a two-act play by David Rambo is set in present day Texas and deals with the televised 10 a.m. service of a Baptist church and the two ministers who €nd themselves at odds in front of the camera. Keith Williams plays Dr. Jeremiah Mears who comes to audition for the pastor’s position which is being €ercely clung to by Dr. Philip Gottschall as portrayed by Bill Hearnburg. Brad Boseman completes the cast as Hugo Taney, the studio’s camera man and the production’s main source of comic relief. Sarah Davenport is in the director’s chair and chose the play because she “liked the storyline and how the powers of fate collide.” Davenport added that basically it’s about an 81-year-old minister stepping down from his post, but it’s also much more than that. “Although it’s set in a church, it translates into all areas of life.” Sarah’s husband, Kelley Davenport designed the sets and is also the technical director of the play. Kate Gaulding of Fairburn joins the Guild for her €rst production as assistant stage manager and 14-year-old Ian McCarthy will be handling the sound system. The play’s running time is about two hours and 10 minutes. Opening night is Feb. 26. The show runs for three weeks, Thursday, Friday and Saturday at 8 p.m. What-God’s Man in Texas When-Starting tomorrow for three consecutive weekends.
