I had the wonderful opportunity to attend a performance of the Cashore Marionettes last night. It was FABULOUS!! If any of you have the chance to go to one of the performances GO!! I know he travels all over the US.  Anyway I just had to share!!

Thanks LJ I see they are in SC in April.

I have only seen them perform once, at the PofA conference in 2007, but they were amazing. The life-like movement they achieve with their puppets is stunning.

Yes! The Cashore marionettes are wonderful! This is a must see. 

Freude, schöner Götterfunken... that is allmost too good to be allowed!
I don't assume they'd be touring Europe?

I do not know if they tour Europe - I would check their website!

I looked, but it didn't seem like it...

I am sure they would be willing to come to Europe if someone would foot the bill. Looks like they have an agent so maybe somewhere down the line the agent will work out a tour deal.

Maybe we should wait for the end of the €- crisis first? o-O
