EUREKA DAY
3W, 2 M 95 minutes

At Eureka Day School in Berkeley, all decisions are made by consensus, diversity of opinion is valued, and vaccinations are a personal matter. When a mumps outbreak hit the school, it turns out that not everyone in the community has the same definition of social justice. Now the board of directors must confront the central question of our time: how do find consensus when you can’t agree on the facts?

REVIEWS
 "The perfect play for our age of disagreement...[Eureka Day] is not only one of the funniest plays to open this year, it is one of the saddest." Ben Brantley, New York Times (Critics' Pick)

"So brilliantly yoked to the current American moment—its flighty politics, its deadly folly—that it makes you want to jump out of your skin...I’m still trying to figure out how hard is appropriate for a critic to laugh at the theatre; this night, I made myself hoarse." - Vinson Cunningham, The New Yorker

"Eureka Day is not to be ignored...this caustically funny but trenchantly provocative comedy...devolves into one of the funniest comic whirlwinds on the current-day stage." - Steven Suskin, New York Stage Review (5/5 stars)
