Superior Donuts

Superior Donuts is a warm, funny, and deeply human comedy-drama by Pulitzer Prize–winning playwright Tracy Letts that explores the fault lines of modern urban America. Set in a struggling donut shop in Chicago’s Uptown neighborhood, the play follows a weary former activist whose once-vibrant ideals have faded along with his business. When a bright, ambitious young Black writer arrives looking for work, the two men form an unlikely friendship that becomes the heart of the story.
