Video: Pageant of the Masters Sneak Preview

Monday was media night in advance of this year's edition of Laguna Beach's famed Pageant of the Masters and Festival of Arts. Laguna Beach Patch was there, cameras in hands, getting glimpses behind the scenes of how the Pageant's well-oiled tableaux vivant machine runs, through scene-building, costuming, makeup, and everything else it takes to put on a show like this for 78 years.

This year's Pageant theme is "Only Make Believe," and will be staged nightly at the Irvine Bowl from July 7 through August 31. The Festival of Arts runs from July 3 through August 31.
