12.0pt'>Synopsis: Written by Pulitzer Prize winning playwright, Tracy
Letts, SUPERIOR DONUTS is a rough and tumble comedy that centers on the
off-beat friendship that grows between shop owner, Arthur Przybyszewski, a
cantankerous, white, former-hippie and Franco Wicks, an ambitious black
twenty-something with a talent for writing – and a debt problem.
Pressures from local collection thugs, the neighbor who wants to buy the donut
shop and awakenings of the heart all lead to the revelation of long-held
secrets. Arthur joins life again after years of hiding from emotions,
Franco learns to accept grace and Max, the Russian capitalist gets his life
dream – to own the biggest store on the block.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><b><font size=3 face="Times New Roman"><span
style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Arthur:</span></font></b> late
50s-early 60s (he must appear 59). Gruff. Charismatic. Frozen in
the 1970s. Hair, clothes, in fact everything about Arthur’s appearance
leads to an impression of a complete nonchalant attitude toward life. He works
to stay uninvolved. Smart, literate, savvy, well-educated, but hides it
with the life he’s made behind the donut counter. He’s
definitely from <st1:place w:st="on"><st1:City w:st="on">Chicago</st1:City></st1:place>
and has a certain machismo attitude that makes him fit into the neighborhood.
However, despite being 59, Arthur often possesses the insecurities of a
teenager. A draft evader, he still hasn’t reconciled his actions during
the Viet Nam War, but his anti-establishment beliefs still linger and inform
his actions and values. Wry. Witty. Dry humor. Just beneath the surface, he’s
attractive and lovable. Actor must be in good physical shape and be
comfortable doing stage combat, for prolonged fight sequence.<o:p></o:p></p>

20s. African-American. The spark plug of the play. Energetic.
Funny. Smart. Literate AND <st1:Street w:st="on"><st1:address w:st="on">Chicago
street</st1:address></st1:Street> smart. Adept at assessing people and
situations. Versatile wordsmith: goes from street lingo to college kid in
a flash. Is used to talking his way in and out of situations – but
he can be tough too. Willing to work –learn – ambitious. His Achilles
heel: gambling and balancing a life on the streets with his ambition to
write. You can see the street in Franco – in his physicality and
quick response to threat. Actor needs to have verbal and physical dexterity.<o:p></o:p></p>

45. Russian. Smart small business owner. Wants a good
life. Distrusts all the neighborhood “punks,” who happen to
be Black. Has respect for the police and flirts with the underworld if
necessary as well. Warm. Comic. Russian accent and knowledge of some Russian
very helpful. He has many of the play’s funniest lines. A man of
business who likes Arthur. He can be a tough guy too – especially
with hired backup.<o:p></o:p></p>

style='font-size:12.0pt;font-weight:bold'>Luther Flynn</span></font></b>:
50s. Irish decent. Street tough. An enforcer for local loan sharks.
No longer needs to get his hands dirty, because he is accompanied with muscle
at all times. Dapper, as someone from the streets who has cleaned up
– but you can still hear and see that he’s lived a physical life
with faded memories of brute force. You wouldn’t want to mess with
Luther. He is capable of hurting people if he’s ordering his
henchmen to do the dirty work or stepping in a bit to make a point.
Doesn’t necessarily have to be a big guy, and doesn’t have to be in
the great shape -- but he has to still have the machismo that got him where he
is. Familiarity with stage combat helpful for prolonged fight sequence
with Arthur.<o:p></o:p></p>

43. African American Chicago beat cop. He’s seen a lot and
knows how and when to pick his battles. Can be tough, no nonsense, but
like a seasoned pro, he’s part cop/part social worker. Understands
the neighborhood. Recognizes a real threat and can let other stuff roll
off his back. Isn’t in the greatest shape. Would rather talk
to somebody than run after them. He loves Star Trek. His hobby is
going to Trekkie conventions.<o:p></o:p></p>

beat cop, Randy plays down any femininity on the job. She can be tough, a
little rough around the edges. She used to being one of the boys. If
she’s not doing her job, she’s a little shy and awkward, especially
with the opposite sex. She cleans up nicely. Underneath her cop exterior,
she has a big heart and would like to find a way to open up and have Arthur open

the Irish muscle man in the play. Kiril is imposing physically and would
strike fear in the hearts of most from his appearance -- but has a big heart
and is courteous to ladies. A gentle giant that could hurt someone on
demand. Speaks Russian in the play (we can teach, but knowing a little of
the language is a big plus). <o:p></o:p></p>

place in the small-time mob world he inhabits. Serves as the physical
back up for Luther when collecting bad debts and parsing out punishment for
other infractions in the territory. A wise-ass who knows people are
afraid of him. Machismo pours out of him – the way he thinks, walks
into a room, sizes up a situation. Has to be in very good physical shape. <o:p></o:p></p>
