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.
"In a word: Fabulous; in an adverbial phrase: laugh-out-loud-hilarious (but not "hysterical"; that would be wrong!) Yet also extremely thought-provoking.
This superbly written play somehow equally honors and skewers both sides of one of the most controversial issues of our day, skillfully--and poignantly--crafting the merits of each, while laying bare our shameful and shameless intolerance toward each other."

Hilarious treatment of a critical topic
"One of the best place I have ever seen. Superb cast, with a very witty script, delving into the dangers of the anti-science, anti-vaxxer crowd. A great send-up of “ limousine liberalism”. Best of all, the most hilarious scene could be enjoyed equally by hearing and and hearing-impaired people. Among the several hundred plays I have seen in my life, this one certainly ranks in the top 10. "

Just as good as it was in 2018!!! LOVE this show
"We saw this when it first premiered in Berkeley CA in 2018. It was hysterical then and just as much so now. When the pandemic hit, Eureka Day seemed amazingly relevant. And it is even more relevant now. Wonderful, wonderful show."

It is okay
"The acting is great , and the texting scene is quite funny. That said, content of show abet above my pay grade.Parts for me hard to follow. Audience seemed to like it more than I did. "
