Subject: PUPT: Upcoming puppetry performance in Charlottesville


Dear Puptcrit members in and around the University of Virginia --

On Sunday at 7 p.m., the Tonda Puppet Theater of Japan will be
performing at the Charlottesville Performing Arts Center.  The Tonda
troupe performs traditional Japanese bunraku puppetry -- one of the
great classical Japanese art forms.  The performance, the only one of
its kind this year in Virginia, is sponsored by the UVa East Asia
Center.  The troupe will be performing three pieces from the classical
bunraku repertoire, and will also give a demonstration of puppetry
technique and convention.

We hope that many of you will come out to witness this unique and
exciting cultural event!  Tickets, only $6 for students ($12 general),
are available in C'ville at Mincer's on the Corner, Plan 9 Records (all
locations)
and New Dominion Bookshop on the Downtown Mall, and can also be
purchased at the door.

For more information on the puppets, check out the article in this
week's C-Ville paper or visit our on-line newsletter
