If there is one word that I would use to describe this show it would be “silk”. It flows along softly, caressing our minds and fitting closely to our various body types without disturbing us in any way. There are no brass bands or uninhibited dance numbers or even show stopping songs. It is simply 90 minutes (without intermission) of quietly reflective theater designed to enlighten and entertain. Sometimes that is just enough.

“Primary Trust” wades into some emotional waters, intelligently dipping into mental health, trauma responses and coping mechanisms, but it never succumbs to the weight of these topics. Instead, the play uses humor to help balance the drama, leaving audiences contemplative of heavy topics, but with satisfied smiles at the end of the night. It also provides a message of hope, and in a time when loneliness is a growing epidemic, the value of a show that serves as a beacon of optimism cannot be overstated.

A team of excellent performers brings Kenneth’s story to life, with Kenneth narrating the play, underscoring his “perceptions” as he remembers them at different points in his life. Debo Balogun as Kenneth uses his storytelling and sensitive delivery skills, illuminating his honesty, investment in, and understanding of his character, not only as an individual struggling with PTSD and loneliness, but also his honesty and willingness to be positive. Carl Hendrick Louis, as Kenneth’s imaginary friend Bert, exists somewhere between Bert as Kenneth’s imagination and invention and the real Bert from 28 years ago, as Kenneth remembers him.

In a world of screens and the infinite scroll, it’s easy to get lost in our algorithms and FYPs. Cleveland Play House’s breezy yet profound production of “Primary Trust” reminds us how much human connection matters.
