Season 2026
Eureka Day, by jonathan spector
coming on april 30
The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?
“Eureka Day is 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…The plays most astonishingly accurate moment comes when the board convenes a livestream…I’m still trying to figure out how hard is appropriate for a critic to laugh at the theater; this night, I made myself hoarse.” – The New Yorker
