Photos: PRIMARY TRUST At Westport Country Playhouse

Westport Country Playhouse stages the 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, “Primary Trust,” an exploration of friendship, courage, and new beginnings. Performance are running from April 14 through May 2, the fourth in the Playhouse’s 2025-26 Season of six works. Check out the photos below!

“Primary Trust” is written by Eboni Booth and directed by Logan Vaughn. With subtle humor and emotional depth, the play examines the human connection, the power of kindness, and the essential trust needed to navigate life's changes.   

“Primary Trust” centers on Kenneth, a lonely 38-year-old man living in the small town of Cranberry, New York. Kenneth is something of a failure to launch, never quite stepping into full independence or adult responsibility. A creature of habit, he spends every evening sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar with Bert, his best friend – who happens to be imaginary. When Kenneth is suddenly laid off from his lifelong job in a bookstore, his world is upended. Facing a reality he's long avoided, Kenneth is forced to leave the comfort of his imagination and learn to trust beyond the barstool. He musters courage to take a new job at the Primary Trust Bank with transformative, and even sweetly comical, results.  

Performance schedule is Tuesday at 7 p.m., Wednesday at 2 and 7 p.m., Thursday at 7 p.m., Friday at 8 p.m., Saturday at 3 and 8 p.m., and Sunday at 3 p.m. Tickets can be purchased at the Westport Country Playhouse website.
