Nevada Appeal (2/21/08)

When Teddy, a Vietnam vet teetering on the edge of madness, and his young girlfriend barge into a forgotten New Mexico roadside diner, nothing will ever be the same for its five occupants. With black sardonic wit and the constant threat of violence, Teddy slowly begins to strip each character’s pretensions and exposes their innermost secrets and fears. For everyone in that diner a searing moment of truth has been faced and, in a deeper sense changing them more than they would have the desire, or perhaps courage, to admit.

Stephen "Red" Ryder – 19 (nightshift cook), a young James Dean wanna-be, with slicked back hair here in the late 60s, he is an unconscious parody of the mid-fifties. He is hell bent on "getting' the hell outa this place".

Angel – 30, (dayshift cook), pretty but plain and a little overweight. Still believes her white uniform fits well, she desires a better life but knows she will probably live out her days in this dying little town.

Lyle Striker – 62, (owner of filling station and motel), an imposingly nice guy, wears a brace on one leg (probably from a war wound), uses fore arm supported crutches, comfortable in his surroundings.

Tommy Clark – 60, (manager of diner), fast talking cheapskate. Couldn't care less about his employees.

Richard Ethredge – 40, (husband to Clarrise), well bred New Yorker, handsome, unpretentious and successful. Thinks he is a "regular guy".

Clarrise Ethredge – 35, (concert violinist), pretty, sheltered, affluent and naïve. She has been protested all her life. Used to taking the safe route.

Teddy – 32 (antagonist), Vietnam vet, pretty messed up. Although very charismatic and charming, he is mean and manipulative.

Cheryl – 20, (Teddy's girlfriend), young innocent hippy chick. Just along for the ride but doesn't know what she's in for being with Teddy.
