Eureka Day at Briggs Opera House

Shaker Bridge Theatre is proud to present Jonathon Spector's 2025 TONY Award-winning play Eureka Day. The cast is lead by Emmy winner Gordon Clapp. 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?
