The live-action graphic novel "The Intergalactic Nemesis," featuring live actors, musicians, sound effects and full-screen images, will be presented by Fort Hays State University's Encore Series at 7:30 p.m. Tuesday, March 31, at the Beach/Schmidt Performing Arts Center in Sheridan Hall on the FHSU campus.

Inspired by "Raiders of the Lost Ark" and "Star Wars," "The Intergalactic Nemesis" is a one-of-a-kind mash-up of radio drama and comic book adventure. Three actors voice dozens of characters. A Foley artist creates hundreds of sound effects and a keyboardist performs a score while more than 1,250 individual, full-color, hand-drawn, high-resolution comic book images are projected on an enormous screen.

Tickets are available at the Memorial Union Student Service Center, by calling 785-628-5306, or by visiting www.fhsu.edu/encore. Tickets for the general public are $30 reserved, $26 unreserved; for seniors and children ages 5-17, tickets are $28 reserved, $24 unreserved; and for FHSU students tickets are $21 reserved, $17 unreserved with a Tiger Card.
