Pulitzer Prize Winner Comes to Stage West

STAGE WEST, Dana Schultes, Executive Producer, in association with DALLAS THEATER CENTER, Kevin Moriarty, Executive Director, proudly announces the regional premiere of the Pulitzer Prize Winner Primary Trust, by Eboni Booth, beginning performances January 30, 2025, at 821 W Vickery Blvd. in Fort Worth.

Kenneth lives in a small town in upstate New York. By day, he works at a local bookstore – by night, he sips mai tais at his favorite bar with his best friend Bert. But when Kenneth is unexpectedly laid off, the quiet life he knows is thrown into a tailspin, as he sets out on a journey of self-discovery. Courage gives way to transformation in this story about old friends, new beginnings, and the good in being there for one another.“…utterly absorbing, very funny, pretty darn near to a perfect play” – The Daily Beast.

From Stage West’s Executive Producer Dana Schultes:

“Primary Trust by Eboni Booth is not only brand-new, it is one of the most sought-after plays in America right now. We’re bringing it to you in collaboration with the Dallas Theater Center. This is a play that will put a smile on your face, and warmth in your heart, and remind you of what it is to be connected to others in your community.”

In the lead up to the opening of Primary Trust, join Stage West in “10 Days of Primary Caring.” This community project suggests 10 days of small gestures, each an opportunity to experience the connection you will find at the heart of this remarkable new play. https://stagewest.org/blog/get-ready-for-primary-trust-with-10-days-of-primary-caring
