the gun to set atmosphere, build tension, reveal character and develop the

New Mexico on a quiet Sunday morning, armed with a gun, and proceeds to
terrorize everyone in sight.

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."
