TRICH
Written and Performed by Becca Schneider
Created by Jenn Haltman, Casey Pfeifer, and Becca Schneider
Becca Schneider had one rule: nobody could know her secret. So naturally, she wrote a play about it! TRICH is a solo show centered around mental health. Wait—where are you going? Find out what happens when we stop pretending everything is fine and start letting people in. Secrecy, shame, recovery. Ya know, comedy.
A Little Background
TRICH first 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. It continues to be performed regionally with multiple sold-out runs along the East Coast, including two productions at Luna Stage, where it was named one of the top New Jersey shows of 2023 by NJArts, prompting a three-week encore the following year. You can learn more about the production history here.
Beyond the stage, TRICH has also become an advocacy tool performing at mental health conferences, including a keynote appearance at the 2025 National Alliance on Mental Illness Pennsylvania State Conference and a presentation at the 2024 TLC Foundation for Body-Focused Repetitive Behaviors Conference in Washington, D.C.
TRICH offers audiences a meaningful entry point for awareness, connection, and destigmatization. Mental health professionals who have attended have spoken about the play’s value as a tool for empathy, education, and conversation. Read a selection of testimonials from clinicians and therapists here.
Turns out, what you think isolates you the most is actually the path toward deeper connection.
