The Cashore Marionettes at UCPAC

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. The performance explores a range of emotions with characters and actions that are amazingly convincing. The marionettes are engineering marvels and the quality of movement is extraordinary.

Although all "Cashore Marionettes" programs are suitable for all ages, younger children may prefer this truncated program. Please see ucpac.org/events for the longer "Life in Motion" performance if desired.
