When You Coming Back Red Ryder The Memphis State Drama Depart- ment staged the gripping play When You Coming Back Red Ryder as part of its annual production schedule. The two- act thriller revolves around the siege of a diner in a small Southwestern town by a distraught Viet Nam veteran wielding a pistol. A marvelous performance by Jef- fery Posson as Teddy, the terrorizing an- tagonist, set the trend for a very realistic and credible rendition of the 1974 work of Mark Medoff. The supporting cast included sopho- more Galen Fott portraying Red, the din- er owner and freshman Carol Wilson as Angel, the waitress. Others giving a good showing were Roger Eaves, E. Kyle Mi- nor, Katherine Anderson, Clif Gordon and Robin Burton. When You Coming Back Red Ryder capped of an incredible fall semester production schedule. 22 -WHEN YOU COMING BACK RED RYDER
