Genesis Oliver Joe Tapper and Finnerty Steeves in “The White Chip.” There will be a free reading of the play online on Monday, May 11.

If there is an upside to social distancing, it’s this: Some theater we did not have a chance to see is now available virtually.

And that includes “The White Chip.” Written by Sean Daniels, Arizona Theatre Company’s artistic director, the play made its off-Broadway debut last fall and received impressive reviews.

On Monday, May 11, ATC will present a live reading of the play performed by the New York actors.

The play is packed with humor yet is a poignant story about Daniels’ own journey to sobriety. And the actors embraced the material with integrity and abundant talent.

The reading will be at 5 p.m. on ATC’s Facebook page (facebook.com/ArizonaTheatreCompany) and its Youtube channel (youtube.com/user/arizonatheatreco).

It’s free, but donations to ATC are welcomed.
