Description

Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize, Primary Trust is a quietly powerful and deeply moving play about loneliness, routine, and the courage it takes to reach beyond both.

Kenneth is a creature of habit, a reserved bookstore employee whose days unfold with comforting predictability. But when an unexpected disruption unsettles his carefully ordered world, Kenneth is forced into unfamiliar territory, where small acts of connection carry profound emotional risk. As he navigates new relationships and long-buried truths, Primary Trust reveals the delicate, often surprising ways we find our way to one another.

Infused with warmth, subtle humor, and profound empathy, Eboni Booth’s acclaimed play is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit. In this intimate production, Crescent City Stage continues its commitment to storytelling that is grounded, compassionate, and deeply human.

 

Directed by Michael A. Newcomer and starring Jarrod Smith as Kenneth, along with Doug Spearman, Nicole Collins, Mark Crosby and musician Steve Gilliland.
