Marionette Performance to be Held at William Paterson University
The Cashore Marionettes, graceful and artistic puppets designed to look like people and animals which are endowed with a subtle and refined range of movement by their masters, are scheduled to appear at William Paterson University on October 15 at 7 p.m. in Shea Center for Performing Arts on the campus in Wayne.
The performance, “Simple Gifts,” is a collection of nine vignettes from everyday life, set to music by several composers including Vivaldi, Strauss, Beethoven and Copland. The scenes will be presented though a combination of manipulation, theatrical illusion, and artistic insight which infuse the puppets with a range of emotions and actions that are always convincing.
A free post-performance lecture with demonstration will immediately follow this event. The show is recommended for children ages eight and older. Seating is limited due to the nature of this event.
Tickets are $20; $18 for senior citizens and William Paterson University faculty, staff and alumni; and $8 for students, and children ages 12 and under. To purchase tickets or for additional information, call the Shea Center for Performing Arts Box Office at 973.720.2371.
