about The White Chip
Despite spending more time drunk than sober, Steven McAlister has managed to graduate from
college, create an extremely successful theatre group, get married, and thrive in a dream job at one of the most prestigious regional theatres in the United States.
Sure, it’s gratifying to go to an AA meeting where they reward you with a white chip token 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 humour, honesty, and compassion, The White Chip is about living with addiction and coming alive through recovery.
