Mike Daisey at the Hobby Center's Zilkha Hall

If you like techy things, then you might want to check out Mike Daisey at the Hobby Center's Zilkha Hall :
Mike Daisey’s hilarious play 21 Dog Years: Doing Time @ Amazon.com. Part gonzo documentary and part personal memoir, Daisey’s performance exposes a corporate world too absurd for the cartoons. Daisey, who labored for 21 dog years (almost three human ones) at Amazon.com, chronicles with lunatic precision his ascent from lowly temp to customer service rep to business development hustler – from the lightless cube farms where he rebelled by sending free books to Norwegians to the halls of BizDev, where the higher ups insisted that the perfect business model was Pets.com, the company that showered all its assets on a sock puppet. Wickedly funny and alarmingly true, 21 Dog Years is an epic story of greed, self-deception, and heartbreak - an anthem to a bygone era of bounteous stock options and equally boundless insanity.
