“Primary Trust”

Attend a performance of the Pulitzer Prize-winning drama, “Primary Trust,” playing at the Syracuse Stage Jan. 22-Feb. 9.

In Cranberry, New York, 40 miles east of Rochester, 38-year-old Kenneth finds comfort in routine. He’s worked at the same bookstore for 20 years and has a standing date with his best friend, Bert, for happy hour Mai Tais. But when the bookstore suddenly closes, Kenneth’s small-town existence is upended, forcing him to confront deeply buried traumas. A story of friendship, grief and the heroism of everyday life, Eboni Booth’s “Primary Trust” reminds us that we can’t fully embrace our future until we let go of our past.
