2026.10.31. Eureka Day at Seattle Rep

10/31, Saturday. Eureka Day is the name of the most proudly progressive private school in California. Every decision is made by the committee after a lengthy discussion over minute details. The committee is composed of the meaky and well-meaning headmaster Don and 4 parents. When a case of mumps surfaces, the concensus on vaccination requirement couldn't be reached. They hosted an open house on zoom to collect opinions of other parents. The sharp tongned messages on the screen is hilarious, but feels true. Well, there is a decision in the end, partly due to a financial incentive.

This play by Johnathan Spector won 2025 Tony Award.

A good turn out, but not full house. Great scene (only 1 set), acting, costume. Everyone changes his/her outfit at each committee meeting. I like these clothes, especially Don's bright-colored socks.
