FROM THE Artistic/MAnAging DirEctOrWelcome. We are pleased to have the Girl Singers with

us once again, this time with their “Broadway’s Best!”

production. They are always a pleasure to have in town and

I hope you enjoy their selections from some of the biggest,

best, longest running shows from Broadway.

The final production this ACT season will be a new show,

“Becky’s New Car,” by Steven Dietz. The show has a cast of

seven (three women, four men) with a wide range of ages (20-60+) and characters

needed. See more specific character information in the audition announcement

below. Auditions will be September 9th and 10th at 7 p.m. here in the Capitol

Theatre. Tentative production is scheduled for late October or early November,

depending on volunteer schedules.

Our last production “Doubt,” had a cast that was 50% new to ACT. I hope we

can again have some new faces for our upcoming production of “Becky’s New

Car.” So, please consider auditioning. It really is painless and we are here to help

you through the process. Even if you don’t want to be onstage but would like to

help backstage, stop by auditions. Get into the ACT!

Comedy by Steven Dietz

Cast Needed 3 Women:

Becky Foster (appears 45-55) Charming, funny, attractive and haunted by the feeling that her life isn’t what she had hoped it would be. The role requires a leading lady who has the stamina to be on stage for 90% of the play and the confidence to be able to constantly break the fourth wall and bring the audience into the action.

Ginger (40-55) Walter’s neighbor. Scion of a family that has just about gone through all of its long held family wealth. Sad, funny, smart.

Kensington (Kenni) Flood (early 20s) Gorgeous, rich, spoiled, brilliant. Howard’s daughter. Dating Chris.

4 Men: Joe Foster (age appropriate to Becky) Becky’s husband. Strong, pragmatic, stolid, loves his wife and family and is significantly smarter than he gives himself credit.

Walter Flood (55-65) very wealthy businessman. Gentle, sweet, good hearted and not terribly connected to the real world. Has been lost since his wife’s death.

Chris Foster (appears 26) Joe and Becky’s son.

Steve (40-55) Becky’s coworker. Still grieving the loss of his wife in an accident. Overly emotional.
