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.
