  3. Terrapin Puppet Theatre: The Paper Escaper


What happens when a book character tries to escape? Benny, the plucky puppet in The Paper Escaper, knows they are destined for greater things than a simple pop-up book. But in a world that’s trying to squash Benny between its pages – from a monstrous chomping sketchpad to a disillusioned illustrator – they’ll need the help of a surprising new friend to achieve their dreams. With striking visuals, brilliant puppetry and dynamic original music, Australia’s Terrapin Puppet Theatre makes its Philadelphia debut in this nonverbal story of determination, friendship and the power of following your own path.
