“Becky’s New Car” pulls into the Hopewell Theatre for a two-weekend run starting Friday.

The Becky of the title works for a car dealer and believes when a woman says she wants a new car, what she really wants is a new life.

A twist of fate gives Becky a chance at just that in Stephen Dietz’s comedy.

“There’s an exaggerated realism about it that I found interesting and fascinating to put on stage,” director Christopher Fidram said. “Becky Foster lives an ordinary life. We watch her clean her house to the songs she grew up with. She’s a happily married wife and mother approaching middle age. If something is missing, no one — including Becky — can pinpoint what it is.”

But an offer she receives at work sends her life spiraling in different directions.

Rosalyn Blystone plays Becky in a show that includes more interaction with the audience than a traditional play.

“That’s probably been the biggest challenge, rehearsing this in front of an empty audience,” Fidram said. “But she’s a fantastic actress … She has to play the scenes as well as break that fourth wall with the audience.”

It also allows her to draw on her improv experience as a member of the troupe The Dinner Theater Rejects.

The cast also includes Nick Mulichak, Brian Suchora, Tim Stanley, Dominick Spisak, Dawn Rogers and Jennifer Milligan, and everyone has to push the boundaries of what they normally might do on stage.

Fidram described it as the kind of play where the actors are encouraged to do all of the silly things directors might have discouraged in the past.

“That’s hard for actors to do,” he said. “The play is funny, and it’s full of all these preposterous coincidences. It lets us know don’t take this too seriously.

“What drew me to the play is, I think all of us seek a little extra excitement in our ordinary lives. We crave some adventure or we fantasize about what it would be like to pretend to be someone we’re not. This is what happens, and the audience watches as she attempts to juggle parallel lives and how the choices she makes can have serious consequences.”
