‘All the Faces of the Moon’ (in previews; opens on
Wednesday) Too late if you want to catch all 29 parts of this new piece
by the monologuist Mike Daisey (“The Agony and the Ecstasy of Steve
Jobs”), which he describes as delving into the secret history of New
York. Each night of the current lunar cycle he’s performing new
material, each night onstage with a different oil painting commissioned
just for the show. Fear not: If you start on Friday, you can still see
28 of the bunch. Joe’s Pub, at the Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street,
at Astor Place, East Village, (212) 967-7555, joespub.com. (David

‘Arguendo’ (previews start on Tuesday; opens on Sept.
24) After nearly seven hours of parsing American literature (in the
acclaimed “Gatz”), Elevator Repair Service and the Public Theater can be
forgiven for shifting their collective attention to something a little
racier. Their latest collaboration focuses on a 1991 Supreme Court case
over whether exotic dancers ran afoul of a law about public nudity.
Elevator Repair Service’s reputation for bold visuals will come into
play, but get your mind out of the gutter: the collaborator of note is
the visual artist Ben Rubin, who is contributing animated text
projections. Public Theater, 425 Lafayette Street, at Astor Place, East
Village, (212) 967-7555, publictheater.org. (Eric Grode)
