Primary Partners

Primary Partners not only make producing our plays possible, but they also support our myriad educational initiatives (such as our Free Student Matinee Program and our Echoes Writers Group ), our Einhorn School of Performing Arts (ESPA), and ancillary artistic programming. From the moment you reserve your tickets, your Primary Stages experience will be effortless. You'll also meet others who value and share the same love for theater as you do. You become a true collaborator in our mission to inspire, support, produce, and share the art of playwriting
