Summary
In this hilarious 2025 Tony Award-winning satire, an elite private school is thrown into crisis when a mumps outbreak divides parents and board members over vaccines. As debates intensify and facts grow slippery, every solution only deepens the conflict. Eureka Day asks us to fully recognize the humanity of those we disagree with.

When you buy tickets online, you'll choose your seats from Citadel's seating chart as part of checkout. If you're a subscriber, your season includes seat selection too — after you purchase your subscription, log back into your online account to claim your seats for each show. It's a separate step from buying the subscription itself, so don't worry if your seats aren't assigned right away. If you get stuck at any point, call the box office at 847-735-8554 ext. 1 and we'll walk you through it.
