Superior Donuts @ Mad Cow Theatre
Mad Cow Theatre was delighted to announce the Southeast Regional Premiere of Superior Donuts, by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Tracy Letts. Superior Donuts recently concluded its run on Broadway, and Mad Cow Theatre is one of the very first regional theatres to produce this acclaimed new play by the author. Hailed as “A soulful play, full of humor and humanity,” Superior Donuts is the story of Arthur Przybyszewski, who owns a decrepit donut shop in an uptown neighborhood of Chicago. Franco Wicks, a black teenager who is his only employee, wants to change the shop for the better. This comedy-drama, 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. Thursday was the last night of previews so I got to catch the play at the amazingly discounted rate of $10.00. Worth every penny. I grow bored easily, and this one captured and held my attention the entire two and a half hours. Amazing production! The cast was phenomenal, each adding so much to their character.
I had never been to Mad Cow Theatre, so that alone was a first for me, plus seeing Superior Donuts was a first... but I'm lumping this together as one "new experience". Check both the theater out and this production... seriously, its amazing!http://www.madcowtheatre.com/
