Amber Gray and Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz complete the cast of Jonathan Spector's sharp comedy about a private elementary school board assessing its vaccine policy.
School is in session! Eureka Day on Broadway is now in performances at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, and new photos are available.
Written by Jonathan Spector and directed by Anna D. Shapiro, Eureka Day centers on the school board of the titular fictional private elementary school in California. When a mumps outbreak forces the board to reassess its relaxed vaccine policy, they must — for the first time — make a decision that won't please everyone.
The cast includes Jessica Hecht as Suzanne, Thomas Middleditch as Eli, Amber Gray as Carina, Bill Irwin as Don, and Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz as Meiko. Check out photos of the cast below!
