Synopsis: 

Hot from celebrated productions on Broadway and in London, Eureka Day is a new, wildly funny, on-the-pulse satire which asks if parents at a progressive, welcoming private school can uphold their harmonious shared values when Eureka Day faces an outbreak of the mumps. Jonathan Spector’s sharp comedy explores in surprising turns what happens when facts become subjective, when inclusivity turns performative, and a “community activated conversation” turns into an all-out brawl — with uproarious, fresh, thought-provoking results. Margot Bordelon returns to direct following her hit production of John Proctor is the Villain.

From Playwright Jonathan Spector

“I’m thrilled to get to share this play with Huntington audiences. Eureka Day explores, among other things, the dangers of vaccine misinformation, and the challenge of forming any kind of civil society when people cannot agree on baseline truth. When I sat down to write this play seven years ago, I could never have fathomed these would be issues that hit so close to home for so many of us. Unfortunately, here we are.”

From Artistic Director Loretta Greco

“When I saw this premiere in Berkeley, pre-pandemic, I thought it was for parents like me – who had a child inside the Bay Area’s vast array of tremendous yet precious and privileged independent schools – and it gave us a chance to laugh at ourselves. It’s still a chance to laugh at ourselves and at how quickly our best intentions can go awry – but also to ask knotty questions in real time about how to compassionately balance the needs of individuals with the larger needs of the collective within society. Eureka Day was a hot ticket on Broadway this season, and we are thrilled to create our own spectacular production, which promises to be as thought-provoking as it is hilarious.”
