PRIMARY TRUST
By EBONI BOOTH
Directed by JENNIFER CHANG
SEPT 18–OCT 13 | ST. GERMAIN STAGE | 36 LINDEN STREET, DOWNTOWN PITTSFIELD
It’s not too late to begin again.
Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker, spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar with his best friend Bert. Unexpectedly shaken from his life of routine, Kenneth finally faces challenges he has long avoided—with transformative results. A funny and touching story of new beginnings, new friends, and the courage to see the world for the first time, The Observer says, Primary Trust “will restore your faith in theater’s elemental storytelling powers.”
WINNER! 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
