Desperate for Magic[1][2] is a one-man multi-character play written and performed by American playwright Chambers Stevens. Written with a grant from The Tennessee Commission and the Ingram Industries Theater Fellowship Ingram Content Group, Desperate for Magic debuted in Nashville in 1989. Billed as a magical mystery tour through Generation X, Stevens performed as seventeen characters all looking for something magical in their lives.[3] Dubbed "a male Lily Tomlin" by Los Angeles Magazine,[4] the play, directed by Betsy Sullenger, went on a national tour.[5][6][7][8] In 1994, it was awarded a Garland (Critic's Pick) by Backstage West.[9] In 2001, Desperate for Magic was published by the Eldridge Publishing Company.[10][11]
