Happy hour is a state of mind.

Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker in a small upstate New York town, spends his evenings sipping Mai Tais at the local tiki bar with his best friend Bert. When he’s suddenly laid off, Kenneth faces challenges he has long avoided—with transformative and heart-warming results. Primary Trust is a touching story of new beginnings, old (and new) friends, and finding the courage to see the world for the first time.

When Eboni Booth’s Primary Trust premiered in New York in 2023, The Observer said, “it will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.” The Daily Beast said it’s “pretty darn near to perfect.” Don’t miss this award-winning New York Times Critics' Pick play that will surprise you and fill you with hope.

"As tenderhearted as it is spryly comic."

Critics' Pick

"Tender, delicately detailed portrait."
