Detroit Public Theatre brings a Tony Winning Production to a Michigan Premiere Audience
Detroit, MI - Detroit Public Theatre (DPT) is thrilled to announce its 12th Season. The season opens with EUREKA DAY, the Tony Award-winning play by Jonathan Spector and Directed by Courtney Burkett in its Michigan premiere.
In this Tony Award-winning, wildly relevant and bitingly funny play, a mumps outbreak at a progressive elementary school forces the school's well-meaning executive committee to confront what happens when facts become subjective and every solution divisive. How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?
The cast of EUREKA DAY features returning DPT artist and Producing Artistic Director Sarah Winkler (Eight Nights, The Harassment of Iris Malloy, Cry It Out) as Suzanne, alongside DPT newcomers Mona Moriya as Meiko, Halima Nurullah as Carina, Matt Hollerbach as Eli, Tobin Hissong as Don, and Jala Jackson as Winter.
The production features scenic and props design by Moníka Essen, costume design by Christopher Vergara, lighting design by Matt Taylor, audio design by Kate Hopgood, and projection design by Sarah Webb. Jenn Pan is the Intimacy Coordinator and Jala Jackson assistant directs. Angeline Ayriss is the Production Stage Manager, with Tia Spicer as Assistant Stage Manager.
Performances begin with three previews: September 23, 24 and 25. New this season, DPT is proud to offer Pick-Your-Price (PYP) tickets to many performances of each production. Audience members can pick a price that suits their budget, from as low as $5 up to $100, with no processing fee. Availability is limited and as follows:
First Preview: 15 PYP tickets available,
Second Preview: 75 PYP tickets available
Third Preview: 75 PYP tickets available
Opening Nights: No PYP tickets available
Every other performance: 15 PYP tickets available
