Testimonial from previous retreat - “I was able to actively listen to my wife express her needs for our relationship and our family. We found the time to talk about our concerns, appreciations, and love for one another without interruption from work or our busy schedules. After 27 years of marriage, I can honestly say this was the best couples retreat experience, we both agreed it was incredible. I highly recommend it to all First Responders and their spouses.”

Description of the play - Have you ever been tempted to flee your own life? Becky Foster is caught in middle age, middle management and in a middling marriage—with no prospects for change on the horizon. Then one night a socially inept and grief-struck millionaire stumbles 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. BECKY’S NEW CAR is a thoroughly original comedy with serious overtones, a devious and delightful romp down the road not taken.
