Becky's New Car
by Gaslight Baker Theatre

Feb. 24 - Feb. 27 (2018)

Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle age, in middle management, and in a middling marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a 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 by Steven Dietz is a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken.
