What is the
National Theatre of the Deaf?
A
Tony Award recipient for theatrical excellence in 1977, National
Theater of the Deaf (NTD) has produced twenty-nine foreign tours in
thirty-seven years. It is the only company to have played all fifty
states, 7 continents, and in 1986, was the first American company to
perform in the People's Republic of China. Over the years, NTD has
succeeded in bringing American Sign Language to generations of
worldwide theatre goers, and will continue to do so in the next
millennium and beyond. |

At 4:00 PM, the Cashore Marionettes will
perform Simple Gifts. This show is highly recommended
for adults. It is suggested that children be no younger
than 8 years of age.
THE CASHORE MARIONETTES are unmatched in
artistry, grace and refinement of movement. The internationally
acclaimed Cashore Marionettes redefine the art of puppetry. The
moving and humorous performances 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.
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. The
original vignettes presented in Simple Gifts, through a
combination of virtuoso manipulation, beautiful music,
theatrical illusion, and artistic insight, provide a sensitive
vision of what it is to be human. The performance spans the
range of emotions with characters and actions that are amazingly
convincing. The marionettes are engineering marvels and the
quality of movement is extraordinary.
Joseph Cashore has received numerous awards for his artistry
including a Pew Fellowship for Performance Art, based upon his
artistic accomplishment; a Henson Foundation Grant, an award
intended to help promote puppetry to adult audiences; and a
Citation of Excellence from the UNIMA-USA, 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.
Tickets prices:
Adults $20.00; Seniors $15.00;
Children under 18 $10.00
