The Ziegfeld Files, a new solo show written by and starring Jesse Eisenberg, has extended its Off-Broadway run at Studio Seaview, where it currently performs when Prince Faggot is dark in the same venue. Previously scheduled to give its final performance December 1, the production has added three additional performances, with the final planned for December 8. Shayok Misha Chowdhury is directing.

The work, being read on-book by Eisenberg, draws from therapy recordings of a new father struggling to connect with his baby. Arguably best known as a screen actor whose credits include The Social Network and A Real Pain, Eisenberg's stage playwriting work includes The Spoils, The Revisionist, Asuncion, and Happy Talk.

“I’m equal parts thrilled and terrified of performing my play, The Ziegfeld Files," said Eisenberg in an earlier statement. "I am so grateful to Seaview for producing it and giving me somewhere to go on Mondays! I am also very happy that part of the proceeds will be going to organizations providing relief in Haiti—which makes sense when you see the show!"

“In a culture obsessed with spectacles of feeling (grief posts, confessions, viral apology videos), Jesse is painting us an uncommonly human portrait of a millennial parent struggling to feel correctly," added Chowdhury. "I’ve admired Jesse’s work for years, he’s an exquisite storyteller, and in The Ziegfeld Files, he’s inviting us into a story about ambivalence and doubt. I’m so thrilled audiences will get to experience it at Seaview this fall.”

The performances, being held on the set (designed by David Zinn) of Prince Faggot, feature lighting design by Isabella Byrd and sound design by Lee Kinney. Amanda Michaels serves as production stage manager, with Hudson Theatrical Associates as production supervisors and Seaview's Jonathan Whitton general managing.
