The play, which premiered Off-Broadway in 2019 and made a London debut in 2022, centers on a private elementary school in California that is forced to reconsider its liberal vaccine policy following an outbreak of the mumps. MTC's production, which is a new staging, is produced by special arrangement with Sonia Friedman Productions (which co-presented the 2022 London run), Wagner Johnson Productions, and Seaview.

After Broadway, the production heads to Washington, D.C.'s Kennedy Center with a largely new cast. Yakura-Kurtz is reprising her Broadway performance as Meiko, opposite former understudies Carlin as Don, Carroll as Eli, Flowers as Carina, Jennifer Laura Thompson as Suzanne, and Lim as Winter. The production will play the institution's Eisenhower Theater March 7-22.

The production also features scenic design by Todd Rosenthal, costume design by Clint Ramos, lighting design by Jen Schriever, original music and sound design by Rob Milburn and Michael Bodeen, projection design by David Bengali, and intimacy and sensitivity coordination by Ann C. James. Kevin Bertolacci is serving as production stage manager.
