The Manhattan Theatre Club (MTC) production of [“Eureka Day”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/broadway-press-day-with-eureka-day/) will play for an additional two weeks. The Anna D. Shapiro-helmed play will now run through Feb. 2, 2025\. The announcement comes on the heels of its Dec. 16 [opening night](https://www.broadwaynews.com/eureka-day-satire-takes-well-honed-jabs-at-liberalism-2/) at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre. The Jonathan Spector comedy, which began previews on Nov. 25, was originally scheduled to play a limited engagement through Jan. 19\. 

In the California-set “Eureka Day,” an outbreak of mumps forces a private elementary school to challenge its own liberal vaccination policy. The [cast](https://www.broadwaynews.com/amber-gray-jessica-hecht-bill-irwin-and-more-will-lead-eureka-day-on-broadway-full-casting-announced/) includes Eboni Flowers, Amber Gray, Jessica Hecht, Bill Irwin, Thomas Middleditch and [Chelsea Yakura-Kurtz](https://www.broadwaynews.com/chelsea-yakura-kurtz-sets-broadway-debut-in-eureka-day/).

The production’s announcement marks the fourth straight-play opening in the 2024-2025 season to extend. Max Wolf Friedlich’s [“Job,”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/exclusive-job-on-broadway-receives-extension/) Jez Butterworth’s [“The Hills of California”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/the-hills-of-california-announces-extension-ahead-of-opening-night/) (produced in association with MTC) and the revival of [“Romeo + Juliet”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/broadways-romeo-juliet-receives-extension-one-month-ahead-of-previews/) all received extensions, while Cole Escola’s [“Oh, Mary!”](https://www.broadwaynews.com/betty-gilpin-to-join-broadways-oh-mary-production-extends-again/) has extended three times.
