PRIMARY TRUST To Begin Performances At Everyman Theatre In February
This production is onstage from February 2 to March 2.
Everyman Theatre will present Primary Trust, a compelling new play that delves into themes of personal identity and human relationships. This production is onstage from February 2 to March 2.
Written by Pulitzer Prize- winning playwright and actor Eboni Booth, Primary Trust has garnered critical acclaim and captivated audiences, swiftly becoming one of the most produced plays nationwide. Everyman Theatre is thrilled to present its own production to the Baltimore community.
" Eboni Booth is a gift to the American theater. Her storytelling is simple, yet poetic and filled with meticulously crafted characters," states Founder, Artistic Director, Vincent M. Lancisi, “This play offers us something we all need right now, an open-hearted view of the world and friendship during an especially anxious and divisive time. I am deeply moved by her work and thrilled to share it with our audience".
Primary Trust follows Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore employee in a quaint upstate New York town. Kenneth enjoys his evenings at the local tiki bar, sipping Mai Tais with his Best Friend, Bert. When he unexpectedly loses his job, Kenneth is forced to confront long-avoided challenges, leading to transformative and heartwarming outcomes. This extraordinary new work tells a moving story of fresh starts, old and new friendships, and the courage to see the world in a new light
