Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters

Ever dreamed of stepping into an art masterpiece? Now’s your chance! The world-famous Pageant of the Masters will host its annual Open Casting Call from January 9–11, 2026 on the Festival of Arts grounds in Laguna Beach. Participants can sign up for both on-stage and backstage roles for the upcoming 2026 Pageant production, "The Greatest of All Time," which will run July 9 - September 4, 2026.
Open Casting Call will take place at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, CA, on the following dates:
<ul><li>Friday, January 9, 7–9 pm</li><li>Saturday, January 10, 1–4 pm (Family Fun Fest)</li><li>Sunday, January 11, 1–4 pm (Family Fun Fest)</li></ul>
Volunteers of all ages are invited to join the world’s most famous presentation of tableaux vivants—either on stage or behind the scenes. On-stage roles involve posing in live re-creations of artwork, while backstage volunteers help with makeup, costumes, and headpieces. No experience is required—training will be provided. During the Casting Call, participants will have photos taken and measurements recorded, and guests can preview some of the 2026 Pageant artwork up close. No appointments are necessary.

Family Fun Fest Returns—Now Bigger Than Ever
Adding to the excitement of Casting Call and back by popular demand, the Festival grounds will come alive with the return of the Family Fun Fest—now bigger than ever, with two days of activities on Saturday and Sunday, January 10 and 11, from 1 to 4 pm. Visitors can enjoy music, games, face painting, art projects, and food from local favorite food trucks like Feeding Frenzy and Los Compadres. Volunteers who sign up during the Fest will receive a voucher for one free item from a participating food truck.
Backstage guests can also get an up close look at Pageant sets and take photos, enjoy snacks, and explore the Bizarre Bazaar, which includes Pageant stage props, artwork, costumes, and other one-of-a-kind treasures for sale with proceeds supporting scholarships and arts programming at the Festival of Arts.
