Primary Trust

By Eboni Booth
Directed by Melissa Crespo

In a small town just east of Rochester, 38-year-old Kenneth has a good job, a great boss, and Bert, the best friend a guy could ask for. But his boss is moving to Florida, the bookstore he works at is closing, and Bert? Well, he’s imaginary. As he confronts the traumas that led to his isolated existence, Kenneth must tend to old wounds, forge new friendships, and let go of the things he no longer needs. Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for drama, Eboni Booth’s Primary Trust is a hopeful story about modern loneliness, the heroism of everyday kindness, and the joy of finding community in the most unlikely of places.

“Utterly absorbing… pretty darn near to a perfect play.”
