"The struggle faced by Puerto Rican residents since their island was ravaged by Hurricane Maria is terribly heartbreaking and has left many feeling hopeless and helpless," Johansson said in the release.

"It is a great privilege to be able to participate in whatever way I can, to provide some relief to those that are struggling to access even the most basic of human needs in the aftermath of this disastrous event."

Though President Trump recently gave the U.S. a perfect "10" for its response to the hurricane, statistics from the Puerto Rican government show nearly 80 percent of the island is still without power and many residents are still without access to clean drinking water or cell service.

Proceeds from Johansson's reading will go directly to hurricane relief efforts and tickets (starting at $89) and VIP packages can be purchased on Oct. 23 at 10:00 a.m. ET.
