WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Steppenwolf presents the world premiere of Superior Donuts, by Ensemble Member Tracy Letts, directed by Ensemble Member Tina Landau.
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. Superior Donuts is a provocative comedy about the challenges of embracing the past and the redemptive power of friendship.

Then, last year came August: Osage County -- the winner of the 2008 Tony Award for Best Play and the 2008 Pulitzer -- an epic, three-act family saga set in rural Oklahoma, with echoes of Eugene O'Neill and Anton Chekhov.
