December 4, 2019 – January 5, 2020
By Jonathan Spector
Directed by Serge Seiden
At Eureka Day School in Berkeley, all decisions are made by consensus, diversity and inclusion are valued, and vaccinations are a personal matter. When a mumps outbreak hits the school, it turns out that not everyone in the community has the same definition of social justice. Now the board of directors must confront the central question: how do you find consensus when you can’t agree on the facts? A comedy for our moment!
“One of the funniest plays to open this year”
—The New York Times
“Brilliantly yoked to the current American moment”
—The New Yorker
“Uproarious! Jonathan Spector’s play is so crisply defined that you might have to periodically remind yourself that you haven’t already met these characters in real life…”
—San Francisco Chronicle
“There’s a scene toward the end of the first act in Jonathan Spector’s world premiere
that’s so funny—the audience will likely be laughing so loudly—
that you won’t hear a word of the dialogue.”
—San Francisco Examiner
