FROM THE ARTISTIC/MANAGING DIRECTORWelcome to ACT’s final 2013 production “Becky’s New

Car.” We are ending the season with a splash, giving

away a 2013 Scion iQ donated by production sponsor,

Harr Motors. I want to thank Jim, Barb, Kerry and Matt

Harr for their community support and being such good

sports by “playing a part,” literally a major role, in this

production. You see, the car dealer where Becky works

is Harr Motors. Well, it wasn’t in the original script, but the author, Steven

Dietz, agreed to let us change the name of the dealership as well as the

kinds of cars sold. To be very honest, I was surprised he allowed us to do

it. Over the years I have made several requests for changes in scripts and

have been summarily denied. Just goes to show you, don’t quit trying.

Through his agent, I explained that we were raising $400,000 for a new

90 seat theatre in the Capitol Theatre, built in 1926 on Aberdeen’s Main

Street. As a part of that fundraising, we wanted to get a car donated to

raffle and raise $50,000 toward the $400,000 goal, during our production

of his play, “Becky’s New Car.” He immediately saw the tie in and said,

“go for it.” So we did. I’m happy Steven Dietz granted permission and

very happy Harr Motors became our production sponsor.

Now you can help. We need to sell all 1000 raffle tickets before we draw

the winning ticket, and it could be yours. Your $50 helps get us to our

$50,000 goal. We want to give the car away at the final performance

on Sunday, but we won’t draw before all 1000 tickets are sold. We have

had the raffle tickets available for only three weeks. So you can help.

Please purchase a raffle ticket tonight and allow us to give away the

Scion iQ from Harr Motors this weekend. Just ask an usher or see us at

intermission in the lobby or the Jane West Gallery. The cast will also be

out after the show, and they would love to sell you the winning ticket.

Your odds are definitely better than Powerball, and your support so much

more appreciated.

We hope you enjoy the efforts of our volunteers, on stage and back

stage, new and veteran. Thanks for your help and thanks for attending

“Becky’s New Car.” I look forward to next season and you can become

a subscriber for the best price by using the back page of your program.

Thanks again.

JEN TURICK (Ginger) loves fast cars and the theater. Being a part of this show allows her to celebrate both passions. Jennifer has little in common with Ginger, but she relates to many of the lines spoken by the other characters. “For me,” Jennifer says, “this show expresses my own fears and questions about life at middle age. The playwright honestly presents life’s painful realities while simultaneously making us laugh. One thing is clear: I want a new car.”

JAMES L. WALKER (director) is an Aberdeen native. He had acted, directed and adjudicated professionally for more than 30 years and has been ACT’s artistic/managing director for 28 years. He has earned numerous directing and scenic design awards.

Schultz received Best Supporting Actor at the AACT 2009 national fest for his role as Russ Renner in ACT’s “How to Talk Minnesotan: The Musical” and Comprehensive Creativity in the 2013 AACT Region V festival for his work on “The Top Job!”

HEIDI JENSON (technical assistant), a Watertown native, started with ACT in May 2010 with set construction for “Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat.” She received a Bachelor of Arts in Technical Theatre and a minor in Chinese Studies from the University of North Dakota and has been on the staff of the Huron (Ohio) Playhouse, Sieur Du Luth Summer Arts Festival, Skylight Opera Theatre in Milwaukee, WI and the Des Moines Metro Opera.

MARILYN DAVIS (costumer) made her ACT main stage costuming debut for “Anything Goes” (2006), after costuming many YPT shows. Since then, she has costumed more than 25 shows. Davis received Best Costumes at the 2009 AACT Region V festival for her work in ACT’s “How to Talk Minnesotan: The Musical.”

MARILYN BURCKHARD (props mistress) is originally from Polo, SD, and moved to Aberdeen after graduating high school. After spending the last 16 years volunteering in several shows as props mistress, costumer, assistant director, stage manager and set painter, ACT has become her second family and home.

PAIGE WALTH (sound board operator) Paige Walth (sound board operator/projectionist) has been involved in theater since she was 9 and was last seen as Morella in YPT’s production of “Edgar and Ellen: Bad Seeds!” She loves all aspects of theater and has filled several roles onstage and offstage for ACT, YPT, SBLT, and Capitol Cinema events.
