Director John Zagone. Pictured left to right: Jennifer Carpenter, Rick Jones and Jay Randall Horenstein. (Photo: Steve Werner) Director John Zagone has taken an unusual and welcome step in casting a black actor as the central character. “ Rick Jones is one o f the finest actors in Portland. Traditionally black actors are only cast in plays that specifical ly call for black actors. Not only is this limiting in scope, but it is not always necessary. There is nothing in the script o f "W hen You Cornin’ Back. Red Ryder?" to suggest that the role o f Teddy has to played by a white man. To match the demands o f the difficult role o f Teddy, I am delighted that Rick Jones, with his outstanding abilities and experience was able to be cast." Lucky's M r. & M s .
