Auditions: The White Chip
THANKS TO ALL WHO AUDITIONED! PLEASE CLICK HERE FOR THE CAST LIST.
Raleigh Little Theatre is seeking performers for its upcoming staged reading of The White Chip by Sean Daniels. This reading will be part of Raleigh Little Theatre’s Second Stage Series.
About the Second Stage Series
Through this exciting new series, RLT will produce three staged readings of lesser-known published titles. RLT’s Second Stage will be dedicated to exploring narratives and themes that are not often part of our mainstage programming. We hope these readings will offer an opportunity to engage with bold material that pushes boundaries, explores new perspectives, and broadens the horizons of both our artists and audiences.

About the show
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.
Written by Sean Daniels
Directed by Phillip Solano
