Reviewing theater from Broadway to the Fringe since 1994
‘Eureka Day’ by Jonathan Spector. Directed by Margot Bordelon. Scenic Design by Luciana Stecconi; Costume Design by Zoë Sundra; Lighting Design by Cha See; Projection Design by John Horzen & UptownWorks; and Sound Design by Daniela Hart, Noel Nichols, Bailey Trierweiler & UptownWorks. Presented by The Huntington Theatre at 264 Huntington Ave., Boston, through June…
