Eureka Day

Eureka Day is a private California elementary school with a Board of Directors that values inclusion above all else – that is, until an outbreak of the mumps forces everyone in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise, the board realizes with horror that they’ve got to do what they swore they never would: make a choice that won’t please absolutely everybody.

“Critic’s Pick! Jonathan Spector’s lively portrait of a debate over mandatory vaccinations is the perfect play for our age of disagreement. …characters who had seemed so easy to ridicule as stereotypes acquire a substance and specificity that inhibit both derision and facile categorization. It becomes possible to identify with each of these people…no matter what your own feelings about vaccination are. This means that EUREKA DAY…is not only one of the funniest plays to open this year, it is one of the saddest.”
—The New York Times
