Satire you say? There is nothing humorous about the Church of Scientology or their doctrine. Maybe you focused on the word "Unauthorized" in the title and missed reading the following:

"...part avant-garde performance art, part children's theater — based on the actual principles of Scientology..."

or this:

"We're excited to take this production to the very center of the Church of Scientology – Los Angeles. Since the whole goal of the show is to imagine how the Scientologists might stage a nativity pageant, there's no better place to try than in their Jerusalem," stated Timbers in a release..."

Maybe you missed this:

"The musical, featuring a book, music and lyrics by Kyle Jarrow, based on a concept by director Alex Timbers, has the children actors portraying the religion's top advocates such as Tom Cruise, Kirstie Alley and John Travolta."

The performing company's record company is well known for:

"Kurt Deutsch's Sh-K-Boom Records — who have recorded "Broadway's Amour" and Off-Broadway's "Debbie Does Dallas"..."

Satire does not have to be based on humor -- it merely points out the ridiculousness of a subject. When I read this, I saw the play as a satire about Scientology. People will see this play and realize what a ridiculous little cult it really is.
