Review: EUREKA DAY at City Stage
by Alan Portner - Sep 15, 2026

It had taken me a day or two to absorb Jonathan Spector’s Eureka Day both well-acted and well-produced by Kansas City Actor’s Theatre in the City Theatre space of Union Station.  Cleverly cloaked in comedy, this 2025 Tony Award Winner strikes a deeply held cultural belief from playwright Jonathan Spector that I recognize from my own upbringing in the suburban Chicago Midwest. In my day, if a school had an exceptional reputation, parents moved to that school district. Now-a-days, parents can drop their kids out of school and start their own school with a charter that conforms to their own point-of-view.  That explains the push for government to pay for these “special charter schools.” Eureka Day is a deceptively simple play with only five characters. Eureka Day is one of those high-end private charter schools split off from the traditional public schools by the parents desire to do better for their children.
