Quannapowitt Players Presents Comedy "Becky's New Car"

Coming up at Quannapowitt Players of Reading from November 8 – 23 is the comedy “Becky’s New Car,” by Steven Dietz, which has been called a “smart, comic cruise through the perils of middle-aged longing and regret.”

Title character, Becky Foster, has a middling job with a boss who doesn’t appreciate her, a marriage missing its spark and an adult son living in the basement. Change stumbles through the door of the car dealership where Becky works in the form of billionaire widower Walter Flood and Becky is offered nothing short of a new life. In a way that most plays wouldn’t dare, “Becky’s New Car” offers audiences the chance to ride shotgun with Becky on her exhilarating ride down the road not taken.

With stage direction by Wakefield resident Mark Baumhardt, the play features local actors Barbara Douglass, Chris Cardoni, Michael Carr, David Berti, Laura Liberge, Jason Myatt and Demetra Tseckares.

Performances run from November 8 to 23 at Quannapowitt Players on 55 Hopkins Street in Reading, Mass. The Friday and Saturday evening performances begin at 8:00 p.m. and the Sunday, November 17, matinee is at 2:00 pm.

Tickets are $18 general admission and $17 for students/seniors. For reservations, call 781-942-2212 or visit www.qptheater.com for directions on how to purchase tickets via credit card.
