Texas State University’s Department of Theater and Dance will present Somebody Called Feb. 18-22 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 23 at 2 p.m. on the main stage of the Theatre Center.

Written and directed by Texas State artist-in-residence Eugene Lee, Somebody Called is a tale of two preachers--one with feet of clay and one with a genuine calling to serve the church and not be served by the church. Set in the 1950s, the play examines the onset of the civil rights movement from the perspective of an all-black town.

Tickets are $15-18 for general admission and $8 for students with a valid Texas State ID. To purchase tickets, visit www.txstatepresents.com or call the box office at (512) 245-2204.
