[STAGE] Who can forget John Cusack's lonely, disheveled puppeteer in Being John Malkovich? — Certainly not actual professional puppet masters (though I'm sure they'd like to): who wants to be portrayed as a depressive kook that winds up literally inside the mind of one of Hollyweird's weirdest? Fortunately, Joseph Cashore, one of the world's top puppeteers, will be appearing Sunday, September 17 at the MACC's McCoy Studio Theater, and he seems to have things much more together than Mr. Cusack's character. Cashore graduated from Notre Dame with a bachelor's in Fine Arts and has been designing and performing with marionettes for over 30 years. Set to a classical soundtrack of Beethoven, Copland, Strauss, and Vivaldi, Cashore masterfully manipulates the marionettes through a series of emotional vignettes that illuminate the universal themes of the human experience. If Malkovich taught me anything (besides the fact that John Malkovich is slightly eccentric) it's that in the right hands, marionettes can spring to life with such intricacy and emotion as to appear human. It should be a treat to watch Cashore breathe life into his. Tickets: $28, keiki aged 8-12 half-price. The McCoy Studio Theater is at the Maui Arts & Cultural Center, One Cameron Way, Kahului, 242-7469. [COREY NIELSEN]
