About The Play
WINNER- 2025 Tony Award Best Revival of a Play
WINNER- 2025 Drama Desk Award Outstanding Revival of a Play
WINNER- 2025 Drama League Awards Outstanding Revival of a Play
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?
This production references illness and death in children, public health crises, vaccine hesitancy. Recommended for ages 14+
