Eureka Day, Jonathan Spector’s satire set in a private California elementary school amid a mumps outbreak, opened on Broadway at Manhattan Theatre Club’s Samuel J. Friedman Theatre on December 16. The ensemble cast, directed by Anna D. Shapiro, features Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz, Tony nominee Amber Gray, two-time Tony nominee Jessica Hecht, Tony winner Bill Irwin and Emmy nominee Thomas Middleditch as the Executive Committee in charge of the school’s response to the health crisis—most notably, its vaccine policies. Parent outrage, heated debates and hilarity ensue.
