Primary Trust
May 8-25, 2025
By Eboni Booth
Directed by Timothy Douglas
Co-production with Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park
A New York Times Critics Pick, hailed as a “a five-star, exceptional, buffed-to-gleaming jewel” by the Daily Beast, this play arrives fresh from its acclaimed, sold-out premiere.
An absorbing and open-hearted comedy about new beginnings, Primary Trust explores the inner and outer lives of Kenneth, a dedicated loner with a passion for drinking Mai Tais on weeknights. When he begins to face a world he’s long avoided, will he have the courage to embrace a new start in life?

“This is the kind of play I needed to see right now - one that reminds us of the human goodness that is possible when we take the time to listen and connect. We can’t wait to share it with you.”
“As tenderhearted as it is spryly comic and as poignant as it is ultimately uplifting. ”
“It will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.”
