In Alley Theatre’s current production, Director KJ Sanchez chose to reset the piece in Latin America. First, on the shores of Mar del Plata, Argentina. Then, in an Art Deco-style apartment in Montevideo, Uruguay. But what inspired this switch?

Every year, one playwright receives a call that changes their life: they’ve won the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. But what does that actually mean?
Eboni Booth’s Primary Trust captured the imagination of audiences in New York and around the country, before winning the Pulitzer Prize for drama in 2024. It’s a simple story, set in the mundane (fictional) town of Cranberry New York, one of many scenic hamlets tucked against Lake Ontario. But within this quotidian setting, lies the unexpectedly colorful backdrop of Primary Trust: Wally’s, a tiki bar nestled between Cranberry’s restaurants, bars, and banks.
If you enjoyed the specialty cocktail for Primary Trust, here is your chance to make it yourself at home.
Primary Trust playwright Eboni Booth worked in bars and restaurants throughout her acting career. She became inspired by her regulars and wrote the character Kenneth to be a regular at the fictional tiki bar Wally’s.
After 25 years, Todd Waite bids farewell to the Resident Acting Company. Ken Ludwig’s Baskerville: A Sherlock Holmes Mystery marks Waite’s final production as a Resident Acting Company member, and the sixth and final time as Sherlock Holmes.
Plenty of people are funny—but only a rare few have wit so sharp, so dazzling, it becomes legendary.
It’s a true delight to bring one of the most iconic Sherlock Holmes stories to an audience as passionate about these tales as you are.
Prepare for an extraordinary season of riveting stories, stellar performances, and unforgettable memories in Alley Theatre’s 2025-26 Season!
