THE WHITE CHIP

By Sean Daniels
Directed by Lance Gardner

Tech Begins: Wednesday, August 19, 2026
First Preview: Thursday, August 27, 2026
Opening: Tuesday, September 1, 2026
Closing: Sunday, September 20, 2026

SYNOPSIS: 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 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.

NOTE: Actors in active recovery or whose lives have been affected by addiction are encouraged to submit.

SEEKING:

• STEVEN - Male. 30-50s. Steven is a theater professional (director/artistic leader) who narrates his own story while also participating in it. He directly addresses the audience throughout the play and identifies himself as an alcoholic. Smart, charismatic, self-aware, and deeply flawed.
• #1 - Female. Helps Steven to tell the story and also doubles all the women in the piece.
• #2 - OFFER OUT

SYNOPSIS: Jerry is a literary agent; Emma runs an art gallery; Robert is a publisher. Emma and Robert are married and Jerry is Robert’s best friend, but Emma and Jerry have had a seven-year affair. The play opens with Emma and Jerry meeting for lunch in 1977, two years after the affair has finished and, by a brilliant device, the relationship of the three is traced backwards nine years to the evening when it all began.

SEEKING:

• ROBERT - Male. 30-40s. A publisher. He is married to Emma and is Jerry’s closest friend. He drinks heavily at times and is described in one scene as reading Yeats. Reserved, intelligent, controlled, with a sharp edge.
• EMMA - OFFER OUT
• JERRY - Male. 30-40s. A literary agent. He is married and has children. He has been Robert’s close friend for years and conducts a secret affair with Emma over several years. Charming, quick-witted, impulsive, with underlying insecurity.

But Earl already seems to have all he needs: a bowl, a bed, and a squeaky chew toy. So what do you get someone who has everything? Well, nothing, of course! Based on characters in the beloved internationally syndicated comic strip MUTTS, this West Coast premiere musical adaptation follows Mooch's frantic and hilarious search to find Earl absolutely nothing--which always turns out to be something! Join the delightful duo, along with their owners Millie and Ozzie, cantankerous Frank, adorable Doozy, and an onstage pianist for this festive and heartwarming adventure.
