The White Chip is also thrilled to announced additional producers joining the production.

In The White Chip, Steven (Tapper) is on top of the world and steps away from his dream job running one of the most exciting theatres in the country, but also an alcoholic spinning out of control. The play follows his life from first sip to first love and all the way to rock bottom, where he begins his wild—hilarious and heartbreaking—journey to recovery.

• Beginning January 22 - Monday-Saturday at 8:00pm
