The Stonecutter
Open Hand Theater

Price: $8 adults, $6 children
International Mask and Puppet Museum
518 Prospect Ave., Syracuse

Tashi, a lowly stonecutter, sees everyone else as having a better life and continually wishes to be more and more powerful like them. Three performers present the gentle lesson of this beloved folktale with live music and a wonderful array of puppets in the strikingly Japanese theater style. "The Stonecutter" is an engaging tale with roots in both Japanese and Indian folklore.
