Kip Fagan (Reborning, That Pretty Pretty…) stages the comedy about two 20-something roommates who share a shabby apartment and the woman who enters their live. The production began previews Oct. 12 and will run through Nov. 27.

The cast is led by playwright Eisenberg ("The Social Network," "The Squid and the Whale," "The Village") and Justin Bartha (All New People, Lend Me A Tenor, "The Hangover"), who play Edgar and Vinny, respectively.

Here's the cast on opening night:

They are joined by Remy Auberjonois (The Country Girl, Frost/Nixon) as Stuart and Camille Mana ("Smart People," "One on One") in her Off-Broadway debut in the title role.

Here's how Rattlestick describes the play: "Edgar and Vinny are not racist. In fact, Edgar maintains a blog condemning American imperialism and Vinny is three-quarters into a PhD in Black Studies. When a young Filipina woman named Asuncion becomes their new roommate, the pair have a perfect opportunity to demonstrate how open minded they truly are."
