Cashore Marionettes: Simple Gifts

The internationally acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry. The program, Simple Gifts, is a series of touching portrayals and poignant scenes from everyday life set to stunning music by such composers as Vivaldi, Strauss, Beethoven, and Copland. Through a combination of virtuoso manipulation, beautiful music, theatrical illusion, and artistic insight, the original vignettes presented in Simple Gifts provide an entertaining and sensitive vision of what it is to be human. Engineering marvels with an extraordinary quality of movement, the marionettes explore a range of emotions with characters and actions that are amazingly convincing in the gifted hands of their master.
