you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in
middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage—with no
prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept
and grief-struck millionaire stumbles into the car dealership where
Becky works. Becky is offered nothing short of a new life…and the
audience is offered a chance to ride shotgun in a way that most plays
wouldn’t dare. BECKY’S NEW CAR is a thoroughly original comedy with
serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not
taken.<br><br><font size="4">Characters:</font><br><br>Becky Foster
(late 40s-mid 50s): The central character of the story. Charming,
funny, engaging, honest, charismatic. A hardworking wife and mother.
Actress playing Becky must be very comfortable breaking the fourth
wall and interacting with the audience.<br><br>Joe Foster (late
40s-mid 50s): Becky’s husband, a roofer. He is strong, pragmatic,
honest, sharper than he looks, and a loyal family man with a big heart.<br><br>Chris
Foster (mid-late 20s): Becky’s and Joe’s son. He lives in the
basement. He is a graduate student studying psychology. He is smart,
funny, easy-going, yet passionate.<br><br>Walter Flood (mid 50s-mid
60s): A very wealthy businessman recently widowed. He is charming,
friendly, gentle, and a bit out of touch, especially when it comes to
members of the opposite sex.<br><br>Kensington (Kenni) Flood (mid-late
20s): Walter’s daughter. She is pretty, cynical, smart, and
sophisticated.<br><br>Steve (mid 40s-mid 50s): A recently widowed car
salesman who works with Becky. He is emotionally needy and searching
to fill the huge void left by the loss of his wife. He’s a bit of a
nebbish, but a good guy.<br><br>Ginger (mid 40s-mid 50s): Walter’s
single neighbor who has recently lost all of her money and the things
that go along with it. She is jaded, funny, honest, and lonely…and on
the prowl.</b><br>Contact the Director: melvoce@yahoo.com<br>
