“Primary Trust manages to explore dark subject matter with a gorgeous degree of levity that never undermines the seriousness of the topic at hand.  It is deeply engaging work that demonstrates how far masterful storytelling and first-rate performances can take a production to impressive heights.  It is the best the stage has to offer:  a story with significant purpose that delights its audience at every turn.”
— Mitch Maley, The Bradenton Times

 

“…in Booth’s play, the details matter; her choices are specific and director Chari Arespacochaga understands how to make the most of them and follow the play’s rhythms.”
— Kay Kipling, Sarasota Magazine

 

“Directed with restraint and emotional intelligence by Chari Arespacochaga, Primary Trust is not flashy.  It doesn’t  shout….. Instead, it sits with you — uncomfortably, gently, truthfully — and lets the sadness breathe.  At the Asolo Repertory Theatre, this Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Eboni Booth unfolds as a deeply human portrait of a man shaped by loss, isolation and the quiet dysfunction that can grow when survival replaces connection.”
