Theatre Southwest presents 'Superior Donuts'

Max (Scott Holmes, of Cy-Fair) makes another attempt to buy the Superior Donuts shop from Arthur (John Stevens, of Spring), while Franco (Sam Flash, of Katy) listens with disapproval.

Theatre Southwest will present the play "Superior Donuts" from Friday, Sept. 7 through Sunday, Sept. 29.

The play tells the stories of a Chicago donut shop owner and a young African-American looking for a job. The two form an unlikely partnership to take down a corporate rival after finding out their pasts are not so different.

The cast and crew comes from all over the Houston area, including John Stevens, of Spring, playing Arthur Przybyszewski; Sam Flash, of Katy, playing Franco Wicks; Scott Holmes, of Cy-Fair, playing Max Tarasov; Vicky McCormick, of Montrose, playing Officer Randy Osteen; Obsie Shepard, of Memorial, playing Officer James Bailey; Bobbie Gianchini, of Memorial, playing Lady Boyle; and Tiernan O'Quinn, of Fort Bend, playing Luther Flynn.

The show runs at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays with a matinee at 3 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 16. Tickets are $17 for general admission and $15 for students and seniors.
