Eureka Day is a Tony Award-winning play by Jonathan Spector, presented in its Michigan premiere. Set in an elementary school where a mumps outbreak threatens the community's progressive ideals, the play is a wildly relevant and bitingly funny satire about parenting and public health. The story explores what happens when facts become subjective and every solution divisive, and how consensus can be built when no one can agree on truth.
