Eureka Day

Eisenhower Theater

Wildly relevant and bitingly funny, Eureka Day comes to the Kennedy Center in an exclusive engagement direct from the Manhattan Theatre Club on Broadway!

Jonathan Spector’s play, directed by Tony Award® winner Anna D. Shapiro, is set in 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.
