The White Chip

While Broadway's Days of Wine and Roses uses music to explore alcoholism and recovery in the 1950s, Sean Daniels's play takes the road of contemporary drama. Joe Tapper plays the central character, who is based on the playwright himself: a successful theatrical artistic director whose life and career are nearly destroyed by his wild spins with the bottle. Sheryl Kaller (Next Fall) directs the production, which costars Crystal Dickinson and Jason Tam.
