Review: PRIMARY TRUST is a Must-See at B St. Theatre
by Courtney Symes - Oct 25, 2026
The B Street Theatre never disappoints, and its current production of Eboni Booth’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Primary Trust, is another winner. Director Jack Reuler brings warmth, humor, and humanity to Booth’s thoughtful exploration of human connection, the challenges of stepping outside our comfort zones, and the ways our past experiences shape who we become. The play reminds us that even when change seems daunting, unexpected opportunities can open new doors to beautiful destinations.

When Broadway Finance Becomes Public Record: How SEC Filings Reveal Multi-Million-Dollar Fundraising Moves
by Carli Freeman - Sep 12, 2026

Still, on a website run by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), producers disclose how much money they’re raising for upcoming Broadway-bound shows, national tours, West End transfers, and more. But why are multi-million-dollar Broadway productions making financial data freely accessible to the public? And what information are producers sharing with (or obscuring from) the public under mysterious, theatre-lyric-themed LLC names?
