Eureka Day at Broadway Playhouse

Chicago’s acclaimed TimeLine Theatre Company returns to the Broadway Playhouse (following previous hit productions OSLO and THE LEHMAN TRILOGY)!

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 recently won the 2025 Drama League Award for Outstanding Revival of a Play, and has received five 2025 Tony Award nominations, including Best Revival of a Play.
