SUPERIOR DONUTS
SUPERIOR DONUTS is a comedy about the owner of a small
donut shop that’s located in a quickly gentrifying
Chicago neighborhood. Arthur is a gruff, to-the-point
Chicagoan who refuses to sell newfangled cronuts and
macchiatos or renovate his dated shop that hasn’t
changed since it opened in 1969. That all changes when
enterprising go-getter Franco fast-talks his way into
Arthur’s life as his new (and only) employee, and
convinces him that he can bring the shop – and Arthur –
into the 21st century. Arthur’s supportive
regulars include loyal patron Randy, a cop whose late
father was Arthur’s best friend; her overeager rookie
partner, James; Tush, a colorful customer who uses the
shop counter as a makeshift office, where he keeps tabs
on a variety of odd jobs via fax machine; Maya, a
privileged grad-school student working on her Ph. D; and
Sweatpants, Franco’s longtime friend who’s willing to
dress as a donut to help drum up more business. Looking
to cash in on the urban renewal is Arthur’s
over-caffeinated neighbor, aspiring real estate
capitalist Fawz, who pushes Arthur on a daily basis to
sell the building to him. With his business in jeopardy,
Arthur grudgingly realizes that he had better embrace
the change around him and that Franco could be exactly
what he – and the donut shop – need to thrive. Based on
the play by Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning writer
Tracy Letts.
