Synopsis – ‘Superior Donuts’

‘Superior Donuts’ is the sometimes serious, sometimes funny, but continuously engaging tale of Arthur, an aging 60’s anti-war activist, and the donut shop he owns, which is beginning to show its age. But when Arthur hires young Franco, things begin to change, but are they changing for the better?

‘Superior Donuts’ is a fairly recent work from the pen of Tracy Letts, making its world premiere at Chicago’s own Steppenwolf Theatre in 2008. After a Broadway run, which resulted in a TONY award nomination to actor John Michael Hill as a Featured Actor in a Play, this comedy-drama has been touring nationally.

Set in the heart of one of Chicago’s most diverse neighborhoods, ‘Superior Donuts’ explores the challenges of embracing the past, the dynamics of intergenerational relationships, and the redemptive power of friendship.
