Samuel J. Friedman Theatre
261 W 47th St, New York, NY 10036
Wildly relevant and bitingly funny, Jonathan Spector’s play comes to Manhattan Theatre Club in an all-new production following an acclaimed London run. Eureka Day is a private California elementary school with a Board of Directors that values inclusion above all else—that is, until an outbreak of the mumps forces everyone in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise, the board realizes with horror that they’ve got to do what they swore they never would: make a choice that won’t please absolutely everybody.
