WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Tina Landau directs the Broadway premiere of the Steppenwolf Theatre Company production of Pulitzer Prize winner Tracy Letts' Superior Donuts.
Arthur Przybyszewski owns a decrepit donut shop in the Uptown neighborhood of Chicago. Franco Wicks, a black teenager who is his only employee, wants to change the shop for the better. This provocative comedy, set in the heart of one of Chicago's most diverse communities, explores the challenges of embracing the past and the redemptive power of friendship.

Those who know playwright Tracy Letts' prior work, including his acerbic Pulitzer Prize-winning dysfunctional family drama August: Osage County, his paranoia-filled Bug, or his deeply disturbing Killer Joe may be surprised by his latest offering, Superior Donuts, now at Broadway's Music Box Theatre. This engaging play is a kinder, gentler work that is full of hope and the possibilities for human connection. Yet, Letts' gift for sharp dialogue and incisive characterization remains intact., thanks in large part to director Tina Landau and an excellent ensemble -- all of whom are repeating their roles from the original Chicago premiere by Steppenwolf Theatre Company last year.
