Pulitzer Prize-winning and hailed as The New York Times Critic’s Pick, PRIMARY TRUST is an uplifting offbeat comedy about finding the courage to change.
Meet Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping a mai tai (or two) with his best friend Bert. When a sudden layoff shatters his routine, Kenneth is forced to turn the page and embark on a new chapter of self-discovery. Will Bert stick around for the journey?
Experience an honest and funny night of intimate storytelling that will capture your imagination and fill you with hope as Kenneth dares to step into an unfamiliar world.
