Review: PRIMARY TRUST at Portland Center Stage
by Krista Garver - Oct 10, 2025
When I saw Portland Center Stage lineup for this season, the show I was most excited about was Eboni Booth’s PRIMARY TRUST. I’d heard nothing but good things about this play, which won the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. The plot is deceptively simple, but underneath flows a current of kindness, human connection, and the possibility of transformation – all themes that feel urgently necessary.
