When You Comin’ Back Red Ryder? at University of Alaska Anchorage - Harper Studio Theatre

A drug-dealing misfit terrorizes a small town and hijacks a roadside diner.

When You Coming 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. “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.” -- The New York Times
