THE
CASHORE MARIONETTES are
so exceptional in artistry, grace and refinement of movement that they
redefine the art of puppetry. The performances, stunning in their intensity
and simple beauty, 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.
 In the performance Life in Motion,
Joseph Cashore presents his collection of marionette masterworks. Characters
of depth, integrity, and humanity are portrayed in a full evening unlike
anything else in theater today. The performance is a series of comic and
poignant scenes taken from everyday life and set to beautiful music by
composers such as Beethoven, Vivaldi, Strauss, and Copland. Through a
combination of virtuoso manipulation, humor, pathos, classic music, and poetic
insight, The Cashore Marionettes take the audience on a journey that
celebrates the richness of life.
The classic and well-known Simple
Gifts is a shorter version of the show intended for a Family Audience.
The themes expressed in Simple Gifts are a touching reminder of the beauty,
joy, and wonder of life.
Lecture/demonstrations,
workshops, and masterclasses are available to high school and college
students, teachers, and arts professionals.

Cashore can provide an open discussion and demonstration for groups who have

controls. In addition Mr. Cashore will relate how he solved specific problems
that arose in the development of the puppets. He will also speak about themes
expressed in the performance and the unique power of marionettes to communicate.
Mr. Cashore will attempt to answer all questions on any aspect of the
