Despite spending more time drunk than sober, Steven McAlister has managed to graduate from college, get married, and thrive in a dream job at one of the most prestigious regional theaters in the United States. Sure, it’s gratifying to go to an AA meeting where they reward you with a white chip just for showing up, but does he even have a problem? Even with an ailing father, a marriage on the rocks, and his professional life careening out of control, Steven has a carefully constructed balancing act that keeps it all together—until it all falls apart. Told with humor, honesty, and compassion, The White Chip is about living with addiction and coming alive through recovery.
***Alcohol-free performance Saturday, 3/28 at 2pm!!
“A delicate equilibrium between laugh-out-loud comedy and gasp-inducing tragedy…Plays save lives in all kinds of ways. I would bet that The White Chip has, and will.” —The New York Times
“A one-act about recovery with wit and charm.” — New York Magazine
