Beth Anne Austein talks with Linda Grinde, director of the Whitefish Theater Company's upcoming production of "Becky's New Car."
"Becky's New Car" by Steven Dietz "takes the audience on a smart, comic cruise through the perils of middle-aged longing and regret" - Variety. 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. "A thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken." - Dramatists.
