Cashore Marionettes At The Historic Masonic Theatre Saturday   Clifton Forge, VA (December 7, 2016) - The Alleghany Highlands Arts Council will present the Cashore Marionettes this Saturday, December 10, at 3:00 PM, at the Historic Masonic Theatre in Clifton Forge. Tickets are $18 adults and $8 students and can be purchased at www.alleghanyarts4all.com or at the door Saturday afternoon. Their 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. 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. This project is partially underwritten by a grant from the Alleghany Foundation with supplemental funding provided by the Virginia Commission for the Arts.
