“A sharply funny and timely new play" – Adrian Horton, The Guardian
“Eureka Day” asks us to consider that people speak and believe as they do for real reasons, and that even differing profoundly, they may achieve good things together. —Jesse Green, NY Times
Hot on the heels of Broadway and London productions, FUSION brings Jonathan Spector’s 2025 Tony Award-winning play, EUREKA DAY, to the stage. Spector’s razor sharp satire takes on a progressive independent school in Berkeley, California. Committed to an inclusive learning environment, the entire school community, including administration and parents, upholds consensus decision-making and policy—the democratic ideal in which all are heard with full participation and trust. Until…there’s a mumps outbreak and a vial of MMR vaccine is on the table for debate with uproarious, fresh, thought-provoking results. EUREKA DAY could not be more on-the-pulse.
“To have it sort of explode out to be, like, an issue the entire world is obsessed with was very strange. [The play was written in 2016] Although there’s also a way in which this may be a perfectly goldilocks moment to be doing it. In the pre-Covid period, it had three or four productions, and people at that time were more able to see the vaccine debate as sort of a metaphor for democracy and society. Two years later, when theatre was just coming back, it seemed like all anybody could see was it being somehow a play about Covid. But now we’re in this very weird place where we’re “over” Covid…and we’re trying to navigate this strange space of making choices, individually and collectively, about balancing the needs of society to get back to life and the need to allow people who are immunocompromised to exist in society. We’re in this place of nobody really being sure anymore what the answers are to those questions, and everybody kind of navigating it differently, and people still feeling very intensely on one end of the spectrum or the other about what everyone should be doing. I think that makes it an interesting time to do the play.” – Jonathan Spector
Performances will be from February 5–15, on Thursdays & Fridays at 7 PM, Saturdays at 2 PM & 7 PM, and Sundays at 3 PM. Opening night features a pre-show reception with doors opening one hour prior to curtain.
