Jason Mannino of Stage and Cinema writes, “Eureka Day is exactly what theater should be: it makes you laugh until you hurt, but it doesn’t shy away from the messy, human stuff either. Huge congrats to the whole team on a successful opening in the new Playhouse!
“The new space looks incredible, and the tech really shines here. Jason Reale’s library set is spot-on—it feels exactly like a Berkeley school, and his attention to detail is commendable. But the real showstopper is the projection design by David Bengali. There’s a scene involving a live Zoom chat that is easily the funniest thing I’ve seen on stage in a long time—an absolutely filthy-yet-accurate mirror of how we all behave online. A special shoutout, too, to Production Stage Manager Laura Stearns, for handling that scene (and the whole production) with aplomb.”
