Wildly relevant and bitingly funny, Eureka Day comes to the Kennedy Center in an exclusive engagement direct from Broadway! Jonathan Spector’s play, directed by Tony Award® winner Anna D.

As cases rise, the Board of Directors realizes with horror that they’ve got to do what they swore they never would: make a choice that won’t please absolutely everybody.
