becky
Have 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.

AUDITIONS- Tuesday March 3 and Thursday March 5 @ 7:30 PM. Schenectady 
Civic Players. 12 S. Church St Schenectady. Sign-up @ 7 PM.

Characters:

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.

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.

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.

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.

Kensington (Kenni) Flood (mid-late 20s): Walter's daughter. She is 
pretty, cynical, smart, and sophisticated.

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.

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.
