Primary Trust
Kenneth has spent his life in the same small town, his adulthood working at the same small bookstore, and his nights drinking mai tais in the same small bar with his best friend Bert — who cares if Bert is imaginary? When Kenneth is suddenly laid off from his job, he is forced out of his comfort zone and into the world. Primary Trust is a story about the transformative nature of small acts of kindness, the importance of community, and the courage it takes to embrace change. 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama
