It's absolutely possible. Plus, identifiable autopens are often fairly obvious and hard to mistake for being authentic. The theatre could:
1. deliver it themselves, since the agency offices are also in midtown (but this option is highly unlikely)
2. When the person's assistant/helper/etc. comes in (doesn't have to be every day or even all that often) have them take the mail with them.
3. Use USPS to forward the mail to the agency address (this is probably too much of a hassle).
So... my guess is #2 happens. Plus, if you recall the Ashley Judd autographs from a while ago when she was on Broadway, they matched her usual secretarial TTM sig quite well, but did not match her movie set authentic successes. Her movie set authentic successes match her IPs quite well, and also they match each other from multiple movie sets. However, most of the time, especially recently, even via venue/movie set, she just has her mail forwarded to her agency.
In conclusion, if a celeb doesn't want mail, the theatre can either toss it or forward it to the agency.
Of course, none of this applies in this case, as the Playbill is almost certainly authentically signed.
