Eureka Day by Jonathan Spector

Presented by RedBird Theater Company 

The Eureka Day of the title is a private elementary school with a Board of Directors that values inclusion above all else — until an outbreak of mumps forces everyone in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy.   Personalities and belief systems clash as the Board is ultimately forced to take a stand that won’t please absolutely everybody.

Director:  Hope Hynes Love

Cast:  Rasool Jahan, Vanessa Nowik, Nick Popio, Jeri Lynn Schulke, Adam Traylor

Production Team:  Jeff Alguire, JJ Bauer, Veronica Dress, Hannah Haverkamp, Alex Maness

Wildly relevant and bitingly funny, EUREKA DAY premiered in California in 2017; was produced off-Broadway in 2019; then in London in 2022; and recently enjoyed a Tony-nominated run on Broadway starring Jessica Hecht and Bill Irwin. 

Eureka Day has been hailed by The Guardian as an “impeccably polished satire” and an “engrossing and textured show.”  Time Out London says, “It’s hysterical, and also relatable.”  And New York Stage Review raves, “Eureka Day is not to be ignored,” declaring it “something fresh, refreshing, and new.”  You won’t want to miss what the New York Times calls an “alarming and entertaining new play.”
