The Cashore Marionettes are unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement, and redefine the art of puppetry. They have astounded audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America including stops at the Kennedy Center, Annenberg Center, Kravis Center, and many others. 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, as they explore a range of emotions with characters and actions that are amazingly convincing. This is a quiet show requiring attention, and the effect is mesmerizing and unforgettable. (Not recommended for children under 5.) See also the full-lenght evening show for adults Life in Motion.

The Magnificent and Lifelike CASHORE MARIONETTES, Life In Motion
Unmatched in artistry, grace and refinement of movement, the internationally acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry. They have astounded audiences in Europe, the Far East and across North America including stops at the Kennedy Center, Annenberg Center, Kravis Center, and many others. Life in Motion presents a collection of Joseph Cashore marionette masterworks. Characters of depth, integrity, and humanity are portrayed in a full evening of scenes taken from everyday life and set to beautiful music by composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, and Copland. Cashore has received numerous awards for his artistry including a Pew Fellowship for Performance Art, a Henson Foundation Grant, to help promote puppetry to adult audiences; and a Citation of Excellence from the UNIMAUSA, the highest honor an American puppeteer can receive. The Cashore Marionettes are so well conceived and projected, the movement so convincing, the illusion so powerful, that the result is a compelling, unforgettable, theatrical experience. The performance will be followed by a demonstration, community talk-back, and Q&A. (See also Simple Gifts, a shorter matinee for children.) Visit The Cashore Marionettes' websitel

THE MUSICAL COMEDY MURDERS OF 1940, By John Bishop
The creative team responsible for a recent Broadway flop, “Stage Door Slasher,” assembles for a backer’s audition of their new show at the Westchester estate of a wealthy ‘angel.” As they prepare for their performance, and a blizzard cuts off any possible retreat, bodies start to drop in plain sight, knives spring out of nowhere, masked figures drag their victims behind swiveling bookcases, and accusing fingers point in all directions. However, and with no thanks to the bumbling police inspector, the mystery is solved in the nick of time – but not before the audience has been treated to a sidesplitting good time and a generous serving of the author’s biting, satiric and refreshingly reverent wit.
Dec. 4, 5, 11 & 12 at 7:30 PM Dec. 6 & 13 at 3:00 PM Anna Maria Ciccone Theatre
Tickets: $10 General $7 All Students, Seniors (65+) & BCC
