THE STORY: Written for a small ensemble and making frequent use of metatheatricality, The White Chip follows director Steven as his career takes off, from playing bit parts in his first acting jobs to running one of the most prestigious regional theatres in the United States. Hand in hand with that success, however, is his deepening dependence on alcohol for both comfort and confidence. With an ailing father, a marriage on the rocks, and his professional life careening out of control, an unlikely guiding light emerges: the "white chip"—a pivotal token for a recovering alcoholic embodying the hope of a sober future. Told with refreshing humor, The White Chip is one man's battle against addiction with a combination of science and love. “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.
“This unique dramatic concoction is likely to leave you shaken and stirred with plenty of laughter and sobs. This show may very well save lives.” —Talkin’ Broadway.
