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.

Sarah
Jessica Parker aka Carrie Bradshaw has closed the book on sex and the
city of Manhattan. Along with her three cohorts, she rethought the idea
of what it means to be a modern woman in the modern world. On Sunday
night, HBO ran the €nal episode of “Sex and the City.” In
just under an hour, the loose ends of these four women’s lives
were neatly tied into a pretty bow. For a show that has been misconstrued
as shallow and vulgar, the lovey-dovey denouement capped what has turned
out to be an honest look at life and love.
