The White Chip portrays one man’s struggle with alcoholism

Theater Reviews + Features | Pittsburgh | Pittsburgh City Paper: Once upon a time, the playwright/director Sean Daniels got a good review in The New York Times. But even that couldn’t persuade him to stop destroying his life with alcohol.

In his autobiographical play, The White Chip, staged by City Theatre at Lester Hamburg Studio, Daniels (portrayed by Kyle Cameron) tells his story in a virtual monologue, with two other actors — called #1 and #2 in the program — serving as parents, friends, lovers, colleagues, and rehab counselors, among others.
