SECRETS OF THE PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS

SECRETS OF THE PAGEANT OF THE MASTERS
A Behind-the-Scenes Tour of How It All Happens
SE 56
On each evening of the Festival of Arts summer schedule, ticket holders are amazed and enchanted by ninety minutes of tableaux vivants (living pictures), incredibly faithful re¬creations of classical and contemporary works of art, with real people posing to look exactly like their counterparts in the original pieces.
An outdoor amphitheater, professional orchestra, original score, live narration, intricate sets, sophisticated lighting, expert staff and hundreds of dedicated volunteers have won recognition for the Pageant of the Masters as the best presentation of its kind.
Learn about the history of the Pageant, celebrating its 85th anniversary this year, and see all that goes into bringing the tableaux vivants (living pictures) to life. Preparations for the 2018 season will be in full swing as we tour the grounds. See sets being made, and costumes being sewn. Visit the dressing areas, small and crowded, where the actors don their costumes and get their makeup done. Learn about the logistics of all the moving parts and people!
