Eboni Booth's Primary Trust makes its world premiere in spring 2023 off Broadway. Check back for information on Primary Trust tickets on New York Theatre Guide.
The Primary Trust play centers on 36-year-old Kenneth, who works at a bookstore by day and drinks mai tais at the tiki bar by night. His life changes when he gets abruptly laid off, and he needs a fresh start. Urged on by an eccentric waiter, he discovers the world anew, and his life transforms in unexpected and even comical ways.

On TV, Booth has appeared in shows like The Good Fight and Daredevil.
