Primary Trust

September 28 – October 26, 2025

Kenneth has spent his life in the same small town, his adulthood working at the same small bookstore, and his nights drinking mai tai’s 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

Portland Center Stage is committed to identifying & interrupting instances of racism & all forms of oppression, through the principles of inclusion, diversity, equity, & accessibility (IDEA).
