From the Creators of New York Times Critics' PickGATZ!

World Premiere
Elevator Repair Service's
ARGUENDO 
Created and Performed by Elevator Repair Service
Directed by John Collins

September 10 - October 6

Last year, The Public Theater co-produced, to great acclaim, GATZ (a unique word-for-word staging of The Great Gatsby) created and performed by Elevator Repair Service (ERS), one of America's most acclaimed theater ensembles. This season, The Public reunites with ERS for a co-production of ARGUENDO, a playful riff on the 1991 Supreme Court case Barnes v. Glen Theatre. In this provocative case, a group of exotic dancers, citing the First Amendment, challenged a ban on public nudity. ERS stages the oral argument of the case verbatim with their signature theatricality, wit and physical precision. The production design features a breathtaking swirl of animated text projections by celebrated visual artist, Ben Rubin.

Elevator Repair Service (elevator.org) creates original works, with a consistent ensemble, that explore and challenge the fundamentals of live performance.

ARGUENDO was co-commissioned by The Public Theater, Woolly Mammoth Theatre Company, ArtsEmerson: The World on Stage and Wexner Center for the Arts at The Ohio State University. ARGUENDO was workshopped at The Public's 2013 Under the Radar Festival and was developed in part at New York Theatre Workshop and at Abrons Art Center.

Note: ARGUENDO will contain brief nudity.
