ATC: Eureka Day (3-6 Sept. 2026)

the Tony-award winning comedy
by Jonathan Spector

The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California is an independent (i.e. private) school where teaching, learning, and living align with politically and socially progressive ideals. In weekly meetings the school’s five board members craft policy to bolster the traditions of inclusivity and kindness, reaching every decision by consensus. But when a mumps outbreak descends on the community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the play’s central question: how do you build consensus when no one can agree on the truth?

As the community unravels, the audience laughs in painful recognition of the play’s prescient perspective on fissures in the broader American and global community during the Covid and Trump era.

Directed by Tom Mallan

DIVERSITY IN CASTING
​We plan to be attentive and responsive to the race and age of each character as envisioned by the writer, though we will not be bound to the exact description. We are committed to forming a diverse cast, not only because of the ATC’s standing commitment to diversity and inclusion but because of the story’s special interest in the power dynamics and challenges to unity and consensus that sometimes follow racial lines, even in an explicitly progressive setting like Eureka Day.

Performances will be March 8-21 (up to 5 nights/week). Tech week will be March 1-7 for up to 4 days that week. All cast members must be available throughout this entire period.

Actors should expect to rehearse in 3 hour blocks, 2-3 days/week, on selected weeknights and weekend days in October, November, January, and February, with increased hours & days as we approach opening.

We will select which days and build the rehearsal schedule from actors’ stated availability on the audition form, so please provide a complete list of any foreseen absences or conflicts to the best of your ability.​

An original new musical comedy, written and directed by Alexandre Diaconu.

Two aliens arrive. One woman begins to return to life.

After burying her husband, Ellie retreats into the apartment they shared, unable to imagine a life beyond grief. Then Argo and Arpi materialise beside her bed. They are visitors from another galaxy, one disciplined and severe, the other affectionate, chaotic, and fascinated by broccoli.

Their mission leads to ETADD, the secret agency where Ellie works. Its director has captured the Monarch of Velarrion Prime, whose absence threatens their world. To rescue him, the aliens need Ellie’s access, her trust, and a series of increasingly improbable disguises.

What begins as a forced alliance becomes an unexpected friendship. While Ellie teaches Argo and Arpi what it means to be human, their chaotic presence draws her back towards laughter, connection, and the beauty of ordinary life.
