Manhattan Theatre Club's Broadway production of Jonathan Spector's Eureka Day is Washington, D.C.-bound. Anna D. Shapiro will again direct the work at The Kennedy Center's Eisenhower Theater with performances running March 7-22.
The D.C. run will feature a mostly new cast, though everyone comes from the play's Broadway company. Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz is reprising her Broadway performance as Meiko, opposite former understudies Tony Carlin as Don, Joe Carroll as Eli, Eboni Flowers as Carina, Jennifer Laura Thompson as Suzanne, and Teresa Avia Lim as Winter.
The multi-extended Broadway run finishes at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre February 16. Read what critics had to say about the Broadway bow here.

The play, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2019 and made a London debut in 2022, centers on a private elementary school in California that is forced to reconsider its liberal vaccine policy following an outbreak of the mumps. MTC's production, which is a new staging, is produced by special arrangement with Sonia Friedman Productions (which co-presented the 2022 London run), Wagner Johnson Productions, and Seaview.
The production also features scenic design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Jen Schriever, original music and sound design by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen, projection design by David Bengali, and intimacy and sensitivity coordination by Ann C. James. Charles M. Turner III will serve as production stage manager.
