Theatreworks: Superior Donuts October 23, 2010

Pulitzer-Prize winner Tracy Letts' recent Broadway success is a tasty, fresh-baked tale of friendship and redemption in a decaying donut dispensary on Chicago's North Side. Warm, funny, and deeply moving, it introduces an eager new counterman -- an African American kid whose bright ideas mask a cloudy past. Setting out to refurbish the sweetshop, its glazed clientele, and its long stale proprietor, he encounters first a wall of resistance, then a well of unexpected heart.
