When You Comin’ Back Red Ryder?

by Mark Medoff
Directed by Dr. Gary Diomandes

Starting off the 2008 Southeast Minnesota theatre calendar, St. Mary’s Department of Theatre Arts presents Mark Medoff's 1973 play When You Comin’ Back Red Ryder? February 28 - March 3 at the Academy Theatre, Valencia Arts Center.

This fast-paced drama by Medoff starts off innocently enough with a group of people going about their daily lives at a small New Mexico diner. The arrival of a too-friendly tourist quickly turns antagonistic, then violent, and the staff and customers suddenly find themselves held hostage by an armed madman. As they fight him and play out his demands, their brittle lives shatter, and no one escapes unscathed.

See St. Mary's Campus Notes for more information.
