By Jonathan Spector
Directed by Berkeley Coyne & Nate Jorgensen
About the show
Run Time: 105 mins
Intermission: 15 mins
Cast: 4w, 2m
Genre: Comedy
Setting: Eureka Day School, Berkeley, California
Winner of the 2025 Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play! The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. In weekly meetings Eureka Day’s five board members develop and update policy to preserve this culture of inclusivity, reaching decisions only by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?
