The UAA Department of Theatre and Dance is pleased to present "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?" by Mark Medoff and directed by UAA faculty member David Edgecombe.
When a drug-dealing misfit terrorizes a small town and hijacks a roadside diner, every patron of this dilapidated restaurant must confront their own pasts and inadequacies as the situation quickly escalates into a hostage crisis. "When You Comin' Back, Red Ryder?" represents a searing conflict between generations and classes. The messages in this Obie-award winning drama continue to be relevant in this age of corporate theft and world terrorism. According to The New York Times, "It is tough, it is tense, it is tight, and works on a basic gut level... a barometer of social and psychic change in America."
