TRICH

TRICH

Written and Performed by Becca Schneider
Directed by Jenn Haltman and Casey Pfeifer
Created by Jenn Haltman, Casey Pfeifer, and Becca Schneider

This is a solo show about living with trichotillomania. You might not know what that is, but don’t worry, you’ll find out when you see the play. 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.

TRICH captivated audiences as the top-selling play at the 2021 United Solo Theatre Festival in NYC, garnering both the Best Actress and Audience Choice Awards.

The play’s return to the stage was a sold-out run at Luna Stage, where it was named one of the top New Jersey productions of 2023 by NJArts, prompting a three-week encore in 2025, not to mention successful weekend runs in Pennsylvania and Florida in 2024.

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 plus the annual BFRB Conference hosted by the TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors in Washington, D.C.
