An original comedy written and directed by Professor of Playwriting and Screenwriting, Steven Dietz, Becky's New Car tells the life-affirming story of an eccentric millionaire who offers Becky the keys to a brand new life.
This romantic farce offers a fantastically funny exploration of class, wealth and selling out during Becky's wild ride though a clever twist of events. Huge laughs, hairpin plot turns and a story with the pedal to the metal is sure to delight Austin audiences and inspire them to live more fiercely.

Acting, 2010) acting in a leading role.
Becky's New Car runs June 3 to July 11.
