Folders who live in the San Francisco Bay area may be interested in seeing a production of Animals Out of Paper by the Pulitzer Prize-nominated playwright Rajiv Joseph. It runs from September 19 through October 20 at the City Lights Theater Company in San Jose. In the play, three characters are brought together by their passion for paperfolding and the results are both comic and explosive. Joseph raises profound questions about the nature of creativity, what it takes to forge lasting human relationships, and whether the two can commingle. Robert Lang provided advice to the production and I contributed an essay to the teaching guide and a display at the theater. For tickets, see the City Lights website cltc.org.
