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.

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.
