Plot Synopsis:

Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management, and a happy but predictable 28-year marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon.  Then one night, a socially inept and grief-stricken millionaire walks 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.

Audition Process:

Auditioners will be asked to prepare and present a one-minute monologue.  They will also be doing cold readings from the script.

CHARACTER DESCRIPTIONS:

• BECKY FOSTER, late 40s.  Charming, funny, attractive, high-energy, generally light-hearted but struggling with work/life balance.  Becky is central to the ensemble and drives the show, with several interactive fourth-wall-breaking interludes.
• JOE FOSTER, late 40s.  Becky’s husband.  Strong, pragmatic, loves his wife and family and is smarter than he gives himself credit for.
• CHRIS FOSTER, 20s.  Joe and Becky’s son.  A grad school psychology major; intelligent and self-possessed, also a little goofy.
• WALTER FLOOD, 50s–60s.  A very wealthy businessman.  Gentle, good-hearted, and not terribly connected to the real world.  Has been lost since his wife’s death.
• KENNI FLOOD, 20s.  Walter’s daughter, rich, cynical, brilliant.  She is dating Chris.
• GINGER, 40s-50s.  Walter’s neighbor.  Sad, funny, smart, scion of a family that has gone through its generational wealth.
• STEVE, 40s-50s.  Becky’s coworker.  Manic, emotional, still grieving the loss of his wife in an accident.
