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.

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.
