This ain't your grandpa's Greek tragedy. The Trojan War may be over, but things are still plenty messy in the House of Atreus as Electra and her brother Orestes plot to avenge the death of their father Agamemnon at the hands of their own mother Clytemnestra and her lover. The Mary-Arrchie Theatre Co. teams up with the school of theatre at Illinois State University to present this new adaptation of Euripides' tragedy, Electra. Director Sonja Moser sets the action in John Deere country, infusing the timeless tale with live rock music, humor, teen angst and plenty of dirty revenge. Learn More

Fantastic production! I was glad I had read the reviews about the location and the BYOB. My daughter went to Starbucks during intermission and also used their facilities, as they are extremely limited in the venue.Written on Mar 03 2012

Superior acting made "Superior Donuts"--well, superior! The actors so embodied the colorful and diverse characters they were playing that we felt as though we were witnessing life in real time. The intimacy of the space and meticulous detail of the set added to the intensity of the experience. Bravo!Written on Apr 30 2012

Outstanding performance! Good story. Theater very small and located up a flight of stairs. Plumbing needs repair, so use the washroom before you arrive. But, don't let this prevent you from enjoying the show!Written on Apr 23 2012

Description
Directed by Matt Miller
Richard Cotovsky and Preston Tate Jr. lead the cast of Pulitzer Prize-winner Tracy Letts’ Superior Donuts at Mary-Arrchie Theatre. They are joined by a strong ensemble cast who take on the eclectic personalities of the Uptown Chicago neighborhood in which the play is set. The full cast includes Paige Smith, Millie Hurley, Bradford Stevens, Karl Potthoff, Dereck Garner, Susan Monts Bologna and Brian Kelly.
Superior Donuts had its world premiere in 2008 at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre before moving to New York and regional theaters across the country.
Arthur Przybyszewski owns a decrepit donut shop in the uptown neighborhood of Chicago. Franco Wicks, a black teenager who is his only employee, wants to change the shop for the better. Filled with humor and humanity, Superior Donuts stirs up the challenges of embracing the past and the redemptive power of friendship while analyzing the American Dream.
