A man walking down a street holding an orange drink in his hand. He is turned to his right where there is an empty space. There is a shadow of an additional pair of legs in a puddle on the ground.

DC Premiere

Primary Trust

September 10 – October 20, 2024

Ark

A touching and funny story of finding connection and moving forward that won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize.

Wally’s Tiki Bar serves the sweetest mai tais in town, and Kenneth never misses a happy hour with his best friend. But when a job loss upends Kenneth’s static existence, he must discover the courage to open a new door and change his life – even if it means facing the past and letting go.

A New York Times Critic’s Pick, this DC premiere is a beautiful and tender journey towards new beginnings and seeing the world for the first time.

“It will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.” – The Observer
