Becky’s Continued from B1 making the audience as important to the story as the onstage talent.

Becky’s challenge is a common human dilemma, according to Nunziato. Living in a part of her life that younger audiences will recognize as something they are preparing themselves for while older audiences will have been through a similar, if not as intense a dilemma, Nunziato said audiences will relate in one way or another.

“She’s us as a protagonist, a perfectly nice normal person. She loves her husband; she loves her kid,” said Nunziato. “And then all of a sudden she’s just making these incredibly wild and ultimately dangerous choices.”

Lori Nalangan plays the eponymous Becky for this production and Nunziato said she is the perfect person for the job.

“She just had a really great feel for it and was incredibly funny and charming and sympathetic — and people just love her the moment she hits the stage,” the director said, noting that if Becky was unlikable the story would be hard to swallow considering the questionable choices she makes throughout her odyssey.

Nunziato knew she had the right cast for the job and maintains the show is truly an ensemble piece with each character bringing something important to the journey.

“They’re very much an ensemble; they’re very cohesive,” she shared. “They’re very supportive of each other and they’re the hardest workers you’ll ever meet.”

“Becky’s New Car” allows the audience to hitch a ride on this humorous, sometimes absurd and oddly touching journey of choices and the consequences that come from them. It runs Feb. 11 through March 5 at the Stage at Burke Junction. Tickets and more information can be found at stageatburke.com.

& B,” to the 2015 release of “Into the Wild Blue.” StringShot, Rogers’ additional band, formed in 2015, features renowned Brazilian guitarist Badi Assad and harpist/violinist extraordinaire Carlos Reyes.
