Becky's New Car, by Steven Dietz, opened Friday, September 16th on the Mud Creek Barn stage. In this hilarious comedy, Dietz takes you on a ride through the mid-life crisis of an everyday woman as she tries to find a way out of her boring housework, boring job, boring everything! The play is a touching romantic comedy about middled-aged Becky Foster (Forba Shepherd), her roofer husband Joe (Ken Delp) and their matriculating son Chris (Dustin Van Treese). Becky looks for change on the horizon when you also meet the others in her road of life, Steve (Paul Sommer), Walter Flood (Collin Moore), Kensington (Heather Kroetz) and Ginger (Judy McGroarty)-- each of whom evoke the laughter of theater patrons.
