Murphys Creek Theatre

By Jonathan Spector, running April 10 through May 3.

Winner of the 2025 tony award for best revival, this wildly relevant comedy is gaspingly funny and painfully familiar to anyone who has ever sat through a meeting that went spectacularly off the rails.
Set at a progressive private school in Berkeley, Eureka Day follows the school’s executive committee, a group devoted to consensus, compassion, and making sure every voice is heard. Their carefully balanced approach to leadership is tested when a mumps outbreak strikes the school community, turning routine decision-making into a heated public debate.

As discussions move online, the committee’s well-meaning conversations spiral into a chaotic virtual town hall where opinions multiply, tempers rise, and the meeting chat becomes a battlefield. With razor-sharp humor and uncanny timing, Jonathan Spector’s hit play captures the fragile dynamics of modern community conversations and the moment when collaboration collides with deeply held beliefs.
