primary trust
By Eboni Booth | Directed by vickie washington
Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize, Primary Trust follows mild-mannered Kenneth, a 36-year-old, set-in-his-ways bookstore worker, who spends most evenings sipping Mai Tais with his best friend at the local tiki bar. When he’s suddenly laid off, his world turns upside down—in more ways than one. Booth's surprising, touching comedy explores new beginnings, old friends, and the power of seeing the world through fresh eyes.
“It will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.” -The Observer
“Perfect-anything rarely exists, but Primary Trust is pretty darn near to a perfect play.” - The Daily Beast
“It’s actually a wake up call, and not just for the man who’s been living in a daze.” - NYT Critics Pick
