EUREKA DAY
by Jonathan Spector
June 2-20, 2027
Winner of the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play, this razor-sharp satire explores what happens when five well-meaning parents try to agree on a solution that's best for everyone. Nobody's the villain. Everybody has a point. Eureka Day asks: What do we owe each other when we can't agree on the facts?

“Critic’s Pick! Jonathan Spector’s lively portrait of a debate over mandatory vaccinations is the perfect play for our age of disagreement.” – The New York Times
“Spector… extract[s] comic gold from the little tugs-of-war for control among the members of the committee. But… this comedy of manners yields to a serious probing of interpersonal responsibility and the limits of consideration. …Even as it stakes out a moral position on its subject, Eureka Day avoids the kind of lording dismissal that, in too much of our social-media lives, has become epidemic.” – Time Out New York
“Eureka Day [is] so brilliantly yoked to the current American moment – its flighty politics, its deadly folly – that it makes you want to jump out of your skin… The play’s most astonishingly accurate moment comes when the board convenes a livestream… I’m still trying to figure out how hard is appropriate for a critic to laugh at the theatre; this night, I made myself hoarse.” – The New Yorker
