The Eureka Day School in Berkeley, California, is a bastion of progressive ideals: representation, acceptance, social justice. But when a mumps outbreak threatens the Eureka community, facts become subjective and every solution divisive, leaving the school’s leadership to confront the central question of our time: How do you build consensus when no one can agree on truth?
“…Critic’s Pick! “[A] lively portrait... The perfect play for our age of disagreement.” – The New York Times
INFINITE LIFE

Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
December 11 - 19, 2026
TWO WEEKEND ENGAGEMENT ONLY
The newest play from the Pulitzer Prize-winning writer of Stray Cat favorites THE FLICK, JOHN, and THE ANTIPODES. INFINITE LIFE focuses on five women – four of them in their 60s, one 47 – and one middle aged man - staying at a health retreat in northern California. This surprisingly funny new play is an inquiry into the complex experience of pain - our own and each other’s - and how we collectively and independently navigate suffering.
“An undeniably important and timely work... often mesmerizing and undeniably audacious.” – The Guardian
DOWNSTATE
by Bruce Norris
directed by Ron May
February 12 - 20, 2027
TWO WEEKEND ENGAGEMENT ONLY
In downstate Illinois, at a group home for registered sex offenders, four men are living with the realities of post-incarcerated life when a man shows up to confront the piano teacher convicted of abusing him as a child. Question is, does he want closure or retribution? The New York Times hailed DOWNSTATE as, “…the kind of play that takes over your body gradually. Its tension seeps into your limbs, settles tautly in your solar plexus and does not leave.”
“[DOWNSTATE is] a stunning demonstration of the power of narrative art to tackle a taboo, to compel us to look at a controversial topic from novel perspectives. …proof positive that you can love a play that turns you inside out." - The Washington Post
TEETH
book and music by Anna K. Jacobs
book and lyrics by Michael R. Jackson

Tempe Center for the Arts Studio Theatre
April 30 - May 15, 2027
The new coming of rage musical comedy.
Based on the cult classic film of the same name, this savagely entertaining new musical conjures the legend of Dawn O’Keefe - an evangelical Christian teen with a powerful secret not even she understands – when men violate her, her body bites back. Literally. Michael R. Jackson (A STRANGE LOOP) and Anna K. Jacobs’ “brilliant and incendiary” theatrical adaptation explores teenage sexual desire, the dangers of an oppressive purity culture and what happens when myth becomes reality.
“A gory blast! A bloody, bawdy musical... with banging songs.” – Vulture
