Story/Teller Arts: Eboni Booth on Primary Trust with Heidi Schreck

The Center for Fiction is thrilled to welcome playwright and actress Eboni Booth to discuss her 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning play Primary Trust. Written as a dramatic stage play, Primary Trust is an elegant and arresting character study of an isolated man who finds a new job, new friends, and, in turn, a new sense of worth. Booth’s story reveals the courage required to expand one’s world and begin again.

Joining Booth in conversation is Heidi Schreck, an award-winning playwright, screenwriter, and actress known for her celebrated plays What the Constitution Means to Me and Grand Concourse. The pair will discuss the careful structures we all build to contain oceans of feeling—and what happens when those structures begin to crumble.
