The White Chip: A Dry Comedy About Drying Out

Despite spending more time drunk than sober, Steven McAlister has managed to graduate from college, create an extremely successful theater group, 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 really have a problem? Even with an ailing father, a marriage on the rocks and his professional life careening out of control, Steven has constructed a careful balancing act that keeps it all together until it all falls apart. A dark comedy told with humor, honesty and compassion, The White Chip is a deeply relatable look at addiction and how sometimes hitting rock bottom might be the best shot at recovery.
