Vintage Theatre presents BECKY'S NEW CAR playing now through February 19th at Vintage Theatre. 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.

Under the direction of Sarah Mae Johnson, the outstanding cast includes Michelle Grimes (Becky), Jim Hunt (Walter), Andy Anderson (Joe), Brian Kusic (Chris), Charlie Wingerter (Steve), Mallory Vining (Kenni) and Jan Cleveland as Ginger.

Born and raised in Denver, Colorado, Steven Dietz graduated in 1980 with a B.A. in Theatre Arts from the University of Northern Colorado, after which he moved to Minneapolis and began his career as a director of new plays at The Playwrights' Center and other local theaters. Dietz's plays range from the political ("Last of the Boys", "God's Country", "Halcyon Days", "Lonely Planet") to the comedic ("More Fun than Bowling", "Over the Moon"). Many of them, ("Trust", "Private Eyes", "Fiction", "Force of Nature") have as a central theme the effects of personal betrayal and deception. In 2010, he was once again named one of the most produced playwrights in America (excluding Shakespeare), placing eighth on the list of the Top Ten Most Produced Playwrights in America, tied with Tennessee Williams and Edward Albee for number of productions. 

Don't Miss Vintage Theatre's BECKY'S NEW CAR, driving into audiences hearts now through February 19th. Vintage Theatre is located at 2119 E. 17th Avenue in Denver, CO. Performances are Fridays and Saturdays at 7:30 p.m. and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. For tickets or more information about Vintage Theatre, contac the box office at 303-839-1361 or online at www.vintagetheatre.com.
