An uproarious satirical comedy 

Inclusion and consensus guide every decision at private school Eureka Day in Berkeley, CA — until a mumps outbreak throws the liberal bastion into turmoil. Devoted to fairness and social justice, the school board tries to host civil conversations about safely returning students to class. But when they encounter a wide range of opinions and increasingly scathing live chats, the once-unified community begins to fracture. Mumps cases rise, chaos ensues and the school's future is put at risk. This Tony Award-winning comedy juxtaposes well-intentioned ideals with the complications of reality, revealing the fallout that can occur when doing good is anything but simple.
