Do you have the courage to change? Meet Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar. When he’s suddenly laid off, Kenneth finally begins to face a world he's long avoided – with transformative and even comical results.
Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Primary Trust is a touching and inventive play about new beginnings, old friends and seeing the world for the first time. The New York Observer says, “it will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.” This production includes themes of grief, mental health, loneliness, and emotional trauma. It contains moments of strong language and depictions of isolation and personal struggle. Recommended for ages 14+

“Tender, touching... Eboni Booth has created Kenneth’s world with loving attention to detail... Primary Trust explores the terrain of loneliness and the gentle joy of connection between one human being and another.” - THEATER PIZZAZZ
“Eboni Booth’s portrait of one man's loneliness and the danger of coping mechanisms will restore your faith in theater’s elemental storytelling powers." - THE OBSERVER
