Austin Playhouse

Season Spotlight Saturday!🌟

We're thrilled to welcome audiences back in September with the opening production of our 27th Season: PRIMARY TRUST by Eboni Booth! 🍹

About the play: Kenneth has everything he needs: a job he loves, his best friend Bert, and daily mai tais at Wally’s. It’s a comforting, secure routine — until he finds himself unemployed. With Bert’s encouragement, Kenneth applies to be a teller at Primary Trust Bank. Thriving at work, he slowly begins to open his heart to new people and possibilities. But when newfound rhythms threaten his friendship with Bert, Kenneth must face his past before he can fully embrace his future.

​💛 Why we love it: This 2024 Pulitzer Prize-winning play is one of the most produced plays in the country right now for good reason. It’s an intimate and heartwarming story of friendship, resilience, and the search for human connection that shines a spotlight on the small moments that make life worthwhile.
