VA Rep presents the Pulitzer-Prize winning Primary Trust - A recent off-Broadway hit by playwright Eboni Booth, Primary Trust is an insightful exploration of vulnerability, isolation, and the unexpected friendships that can blossom in the face of adversity.
When a shy 38 year-old’s carefully constructed life—a routine of books, Mai-Tais, and conversations with his best friend—collapses, Kenneth must suddenly confront his past and brave the outside world.
Hailed by critics as “spryly comic and as poignant” (LA Times) and “wonderfully vivid” (The New York Times), this uplifting, Pulitzer-prize winning play explores change, the resilience of the human spirit, and the courage it takes to forge new paths in life.
On stage March 5 - 29, Wednesdays (2 or 7PM), Thursdays & Fridays 7PM, Saturdays (2 AND 7 PM), Sundays 3PM
