Play Reading Club: Primary Trust
September 29 @ 7:00 pm - 8:30 pm
FreeJoin our monthly play reading club! Each month, we gather to discuss a new, exciting or confounding play that has caught our attention. This month, we’re reading PRIMARY TRUST by Eboni Booth
ABOUT THE PLAY
Meet Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker who spends his evenings sipping mai tais at the local tiki bar. When he’s suddenly laid off, Kenneth finally begins to face a world he’s long avoided – with transformative and even comical results. Primary Trust is a touching and inventive play about new beginnings, old friends and seeing the world for the first time.
