Primary Trust
by Eboni Booth
directed by Jamil Jude
February 17 – 28, 2027
in the Bingham Theatre
With a mix of compassion and humor, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play tells the story of Kenneth, a man whose life of quiet routine consists of working in a small-town bookstore and sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar. When he suddenly loses his job, Kenneth’s existence is upended, and he starts to face a whole universe of unfamiliar possibilities that he’s long shut out—with transformative and sometimes comical results. Eboni Booth’s heartwarming breakout play is a tale of new beginnings, old friends, and how even small acts of kindness and connection can open up an entire world.
"This recent Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a true winner...laced with warmth and good humor. It’s the feel-good play of the season and a story that reminds us of our need for friends, kinship and human connection in our lives. Eboni Booth’s gently humane play...demonstrates how we can all relate with each other and care for our fellow man, especially as we stretch our arms across the divide that seems to separate all of us. "
