Annaleigh Ashford in a statement. “Hank, Jason and Edie, all extraordinary artists, have so selflessly shared their stories of recovery with the public, so to have them join us in amplifying

this play is a true honor. We are over the moon, too, that Crystal and Jason – both powerhouse talents – will join Joe onstage. We feel so lucky.”

Watch on Deadline The official synopsis: “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 theaters 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.”

The White Chip is produced by Annaleigh Ashford, John Larroquette, Ryan Hampton, and the nonprofit organization The Recovery Project. Additional new producers announced today are John Beyer,

Linda Karns, Nick Mills and Barbara Manocherian.
