Desperate for Magic

Desperate For Magic, Chambers’ one man show “tour de force,” was written with a grant from the Ingram Foundation. Billed as “a Magical Mystery Tour through Generation X,” Desperate opened at the Looby Theatre in Nashville, TN.

After the Nashville production, Chambers hired Betsy Sullenger (who would soon be his wife) to redirect the play. Using her sharp eye and amazing ability to handle Chambers, Betsy turned this marvelous sixteen-character play into an award winner.
Debuting the new production at the Burbank Little Theatre in California, the tour then went to New Stage in Mississippi, then the Dark Horse Theatre, and on to the Blue Barn Theatre in Omaha. Finally happy with the results, Desperate For Magic opened in Los Angeles where it was presented with a Backstage West Garland Award.

Here are some of the reviews for Chambers and the play:

“Star shines in Desperate For Magic! The dude is worthy! Way!!!”
Los Angeles Times

“At first glance there appears nothing out of the ordinary about Chambers Stevens, but this actor/writer proceeds to prove he is a young man of extraordinary diligence, perception, compassion, and talent.”
Drama-Logue

“CRITICS CHOICE! Stevens, who resembles a young Jerry Seinfeld, works the stage in a manner that begs comparison to Eric Bogosian. Compelling!”
Backstage West

“Chambers Stevens is a superb actor, willing to take risks in pursuit of his goals, stretching our imaginations to his creative limit. In Desperate For Magic he gives us sixteen memorable and spirited characters. Stevens delivers a performance that’s astounding in its breadth and touching in its humanity.”
Some Magazine

“One of the best shows of the year! Inventive, whimsical and explosively funny!”
Omaha World Herald
