Eureka Day at Hangar Theatre — A Contemporary Play Worth the Drive to Ithaca This Late July

After Dear Evan Hansen closes, the Hangar Theatre pivots to something a little sharper: Eureka Day, the contemporary comedy-drama about a progressive private school community forced to take sides on vaccine exemptions. It is funnier than that sounds and more uncomfortable than you might expect — which is exactly the kind of theatre worth making a trip for. Running July 25 through August 2.
