DC Premiere
Primary Trust
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
