Yes, it was a real play. From Wikipedia:

Megan (Jessica Paré) and Don watch the play America Hurrah, in which a character rants against TV advertisements. After the play, they argue about its negative portrayal of advertising.

It was a satirical play that premiered in 1966. You can also see the playbill in this clip, around 0:30:
