Firehouse Theater to Present BECKY'S NEW CAR This Winter

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 that perfect blend of hilarious comedy and substantial weight, a story about choices and consequences that could believably happen to anyone." - Broadway Hour.
