Eureka Day

May 15 -

June 14, 2026

" A comic powder keg… "

— The Daily Beast

A Regional Premiere.

Fresh from Broadway, this uproariously funny drama is a punishingly sharp satire of the oppressively progressive Eureka Day School in Berkeley, scones and militant inclusivity rule the weekly board meeting, where four self-consciously woke parents – led be a Rumi-reciting headmaster – can only act through strict consensus. But when a mumps outbreak forces the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy, the board faces its worst nightmare: making a decision that won’t please absolutely everybody.

“Eureka Day” is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service imprint. (www.dramatists.com)
