Drop-in Tour with The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis—Primary Trust
Join a guided tour of SLAM’s collection inspired by the 2024 Pulitzer Winner for Drama, Primary Trust, which examines themes of childhood trauma, nostalgia, and the search for balance between friendships and loneliness. This tour is offered in partnership with The Repertory Theatre of St. Louis.
Primary Trust will be performed at The Rep from February 4–March 1, 2026.
About the program
Winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Eboni Booth’s hilarious and heartwarming play offers up a modern, tiki-lit homage to slices of Americana, such as Our Town, Harvey, and It’s a Wonderful Life. Kenneth’s predictable life—mai tais at his favorite bar and a steady job at a local bookstore—begins to unravel, forcing him to confront a childhood loss and the uncertainties of adulthood. With guidance from an imaginary friend, a kind waitress, and a splash of liquid courage, he discovers that trust, love, and friendship—much like the perfect mai tai—are best mixed in unexpected ways. In Kenneth’s own words: “This is the story of friendship. Of how I got a new job. A story of love and balance and time. And the smallest of chances.”
This tour is an excellent way to enhance your understanding of the production and reflect upon the connections between visual arts and theater. Volunteer Educators will meet attendees at the welcome desk in Sculpture Hall. Groups are limited to 15 participants per educator.
