Thirty-something Cranberry Lake local Kenneth finds himself adrift after unexpectedly losing his long-time job at a bookstore. Stuck in self-doubt, he drowns his worries in cheap Mai-Tais and quality time with his best friend, Bert. But when a kind waitress named Corrina mentions a job lead, Kenneth seizes the chance for a fresh start. Join us for a happy hour (and a half) filled with love, loss and self-discovery as Kenneth navigates the ups and downs of starting over.
This endearing and profoundly humanistic play made its world premiere Off-Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre in 2023. Critics have praised it as 'genuinely touching' and a 'thoughtful exploration of personal growth.' In 2024, American playwright Eboni Booth was awarded the Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Primary Trust, cementing its place as a landmark addition to contemporary theatre.
