Just back yesterday afternoon from a two-night trip north from Huntington Beach to the Central Coast of California, followed by an evening in Laguna Beach at Pageant of the Masters, now in its 74th year of production as part of the town's summer Festival of Arts. This 1932 photo shows the temporary structures set up for the first festival, which coincided with the Olympic Games held in Los Angeles.
Our buy-one-get-one-free tickets, a special offered to fill seats during opening week of Laguna Beach's Festival of Arts, put us in the last row but one of the Laguna Bowl, an open air amphitheatre formed by the slopes of Laguna Canyon. Nevertheless, with the aid of binoculars, we were dazzled by the performance.
This was our first time at the pageant; I'm considering a 2007 membership, beginning October 1, 2006, so that we can get better seats next year. Members can order up to 18 tickets months before they are available to the general public.
More later on the pageant and on our trip to Cambria and Hearst Castle, as soon as I can upload and choose photos to share.
