Animals Out of Paper

Steppenwolf Theatre Company presents Animals Out of Paper, by Rajiv Joseph, directed by Jaclynn Jutting.

In the wake of her recent divorce, origami artist Ilana has barricaded herself in her studio–surrounded by paper cranes and Chinese take-out boxes. Her seclusion is interrupted by Andy, an energetic high school teacher, and his student prodigy Suresh, who urge Ilana back into the world. Animals Out of Paper is a funny, poignant play about the collision of mismatched people and the complicated ways we hurt, heal and love those around us.
