I was going to make a snarky remark about "rent a theater for your special event" situation, but apparently the show proceeds partially will go to a charity. Love Jesse Eisenberg but this play doesn't sound exciting.

I’ve always been a big fan of Eisenberg, and yes, it’s wonderful that this is contributing to charity, but I agree that the play doesn’t intrigue me in the slightest based on the description provided. It’s also a huge turn-off to me that he’s performing it on-book - he really can’t memorize a play that he wrote himself?
