"It's important to have silly stories about recovery."
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 get rewarded with a white chip just for showing up to an AA meeting, but does he really have a problem? With an ailing father, a marriage on the rocks, and his professional life careening out of control, how long can Steven hold his perfectly curated life together—before it all falls apart? Told with humor, honesty, and compassion, The White Chip is about living with addiction and coming alive through recovery.
*DEDICATED ALCOHOL-FREE PERFORMANCE MARCH 28TH 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
