Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Becky’s New Car
by Steven Dietz
Directed by Rob Mess
Someone once told Becky Foster that when a woman says she wants a new car, what she really wants is a new life. Becky works at a dealership. Her husband Joe is steady and decent. Their adult son lives in the basement, diagnosing everyone with psychological disorders. It's fine. It's all fine. Then a grief-struck millionaire walks in, mistakes her for a widow, and offers her a way out. For reasons she can't quite explain—even to you, and she will be talking to you directly—Becky doesn't correct him. What follows is a double life, a pileup of lies, and a surprisingly tender question: is it ever too late to take a different road? A devious, warmhearted comedy about wanting more.
Run Time – 2 hours & 10 minutes with one 15-minute intermission
