The cast has been revealed for the Kennedy Center’s exclusive post-Broadway engagement of Eureka Day, a comedy by Jonathan Spector, directed by Tony Award winner Anna D.

Eureka Day at the Kennedy Center will star Tony Carlin (Broadway: Days of Wine and Roses, The Lehman Trilogy) as Don, Joe Carroll (Broadway: Frozen, Bandstand) as Eli, Eboni Flowers (Broadway: Macbeth, Slave Play) as Carina, Tony Award nominee Jennifer Laura Thompson (Broadway: Dear Evan Hansen, Wicked; the Kennedy Center’s Bye Bye Birdie) as Suzanne, Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz (Television: Scandal, The Last Ship) reprising her Broadway role as Meiko, and Teresa Avia Lim (Broadway: Junk) as Winter.

Eureka Day is a private California elementary school with a Board of Directors that values inclusion above all else—that is until an outbreak of the mumps forces everyone in the community to reconsider the school’s liberal vaccine policy. As cases rise, the board realizes with horror that they’ve got to do what they swore they never would: make a choice that won’t please absolutely everybody.
