Manhattan Theatre Club welcomes the brand-new comedy "Eureka Day" to Broadway. Pronounced with the emphasis on "Day," Jonathan Spector's play takes place at a private, progressive school in Berkeley, California. As the lights come up, we see four parents and the principal of Eureka Day gathering for a meeting of the parent executive meeting, in which everything about the school is decided by unanimous consensus. When a mumps outbreak hits the school, the parent board must come up with a plan to move forward. But will they able to reach consensus? How will their values get them through this?
Directed by Anna D. Shapiro, "Eureka Day" is a hysterical look at how communities make hard choices. Host Ruthie Fierberg speaks with Spector, Shapiro as well as cast members Amber Gray ("Hadestown") , Jessica Hecht ("Summer, 1976"), Bill Irwin ("The Iceman Cometh"), Thomas Middleditch (TV's "Silicon Valley") and Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz (Broadway debut) about what audiences can expect from the play and this cast of characters.
