“EUREKA DAY IS ONE OF THE SHARPEST BROADWAY PLAYS IN YEARS. As cathartic as it is hilarious.
It is a ruthless piece of satire filled with one hard laugh after another that leans into the very human challenges of doing your best for your kids in the most difficult of circumstances.”
- Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune
“Painfully timely and refreshingly compassionate. It will have you doubled over in laughter. A PLAY YOU WON’T SOON FORGET AND WILL URGE YOUR FRIENDS TO BE SURE NOT TO MISS!”
- Paul Lisnek, WGNRadio.com
“HYSTERICAL LAUGH-OUT-LOUD. The ensemble cast is just terrific”
- Susan Lillis, Splash Magazine
“***** (out of 5)! THIS SHOULD BE ON YOUR “MUST SEE” LIST! THEATER PERFECTION! The “Zoom scene” will have you laughing hard and is worth the price of the ticket alone.”
- Al Bresloff, Around the Town Chicago
Chicago’s acclaimed TimeLine Theatre Company returns to the Broadway Playhouse (following previous hit productions OSLO and THE LEHMAN TRILOGY) with this Tony Award®-winning hit satire of progressivism, parenting, and public health—written by Jonathan Spector and directed by Lili-Anne Brown!
At Berkeley, California’s ultra-progressive Eureka Day School, every decision is made by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak hits, the school’s carefully cultivated culture of inclusiveness spirals into chaos. As parents and board members clash over vaccines, personal freedoms, and viral misinformation, a community built on open-minded ideals implodes.
Winner of the 2025 Tony Award® for Best Revival of a Play, this Chicago premiere presented by TimeLine Theatre Company tackles one of the defining questions of our time: how do you build consensus when no one can agree on the truth?
Acclaimed as “a powder keg of debate, liberal niceties, and hidden agendas” by The Daily Beast, Eureka Day is that rare combination—a “gaspingly funny” (New York Magazine) satire that captures the absurdity of modern discourse in ways that are intelligent, insightful, and real.
Eureka Day had its world premiere at Aurora Theatre Company in Berkeley, Calif., in 2018. The play premiered Off-Broadway in 2019 and at the Old Vic in London in 2022, before returning to New York City and Broadway via Manhattan Theatre Club in 2024. The Broadway production also received the 2025 Drama League Award and 2025 Drama Desk Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play.
