Eureka Day<\/strong><\/h2>

by Jonathan Spector<\/h4>

February 4 – 14, 2027<\/p>

Welcome to Eureka Day, a progressive elementary school in Berkeley, California where belonging, community, and respect are sacred. When the school’s Board of Directors considers the complexities of its vaccine policy, good intentions collide spectacularly and the pursuit of consensus turns anything but civil. As language meant to include somehow becomes a tool for exclusion, no one leaves unscathed. Jonathan Spector’s razor-sharp comedy probes the fault lines beneath our cherished values of empathy, understanding, and compromise with wit, insight, and a pointed question that lingers long after the curtain falls: If everybody is right, is anyone<\/em>?<\/p>

“Hilarious!<\/em>” — <\/em>The New York Times<\/p>

“Brilliantly yoked to the current American moment.” — <\/em>The New Yorker<\/p>
