Art on Stage: Animals out of Paper

On Saturday, March 4, 1 p.m., Everyman Repertory Theatre will perform Animals Out of Paper. Whether they end poorly or well, relationships always leave a mark… In this uncommon love story, Andy, a high school teacher and avid fan, pressures the reclusive Ilana, a world-famous origami artist, into becoming an unwitting mentor to a troubled teenage prodigy named Suresh. These three intriguingly flawed characters begin to reshape and mold each other’s lives in much the same way they fold and crease their paper art.
