Excursion Spotlight - Pageant of the Masters

All three weeks will get to attend a truly unique spectacle at the Pageant of the Masters--ninety minutes of "living pictures" - re-creating classical and contemporary works with real people. 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 as the best presentation of its kind.

Each visit to a Pageant will be preceded by an afternoon of hands-on art creation and a chance to meet professional aritsts at the Festival of Arts. Very special thanks to the Festival of Arts Foundation for making this activity possible year after year!
