Written and Performed by Becca Schneider. Directed by Jenn Haltman and Casey Pfeifer.
This is a solo show about living with trichotillomania. You might not know what that is, but don’t worry, I’ll tell you when you get here. You’ll meet a teenage girl with an undeniable secret that no one seems to notice, so she hides in her basement cubicle wondering if anyone will come downstairs. Whoa, did that get too dark too fast? Let’s try this again: TRICH is a super fun show about mental health, isolation, and forging a path toward recovery through humor, vulnerability, and far too many 90s references.
Run time: 75 minutes followed by a Q&A with performer and playwright Becca Schneider
Content warning: TRICH includes profanity and sensitive material surrounding mental health, addiction, anxiety, depression, and BFRBs. Recommended for ages twelve and up.
This performance is sponsored by HabitAware.
Since its premiere at the 2021 United Solo Theatre Festival in New York City – where it received Best Actress and Audience Choice Awards – TRICH has gone on to multiple sold-out regional runs in the States. Beyond the stage, TRICH has also become an advocacy tool, performing at mental health conferences, including a keynote appearance at the National Alliance on Mental Illness Pennsylvania State Conference.
