The legendary Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters, the world’s most famous presentation of living pictures, are looking for men, women, and children of all sizes and ages to volunteer for next summer’s show, Wonderful World with an open casting call January 14-16, 2022.

Do you enjoy art, theater and being in the spotlight? Can you stand still for 90-seconds? Perfect! You could be a volunteer cast member in the 2022 Pageant of the Masters in Laguna Beach, California. Held at the Pageant of the Masters Irvine Bowl amphitheater on the Festival of Arts grounds at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, CA during the following dates and times. Masks are required to be worn by all Casting Call attendees regardless of vaccination status.

  • Friday, January 14 from 7 – 9pm
  • Saturday, January 15 from 7 – 9pm
  • Sunday, January 16 from 2 – 5pm

For some cast hopefuls, the audition will be their first. For others, trying out for the show is an annual tradition. Typically, about 40% of cast members casted have been in the show before. “It is common to see several generations of the same family volunteering for different aspects of the show,” shared Sharbie Higuchi, Festival of Arts Marketing/PR Director. “Not only is a great way to spend your summer with friends and loved ones, but also, by volunteering for the Pageant, students can earn credit towards community service requirements.”

Prospective volunteers will be measured and photographed. Refreshments will be served and those in attendance will be able to meet the behind-the-scenes Pageant staff. Pageant volunteers are also needed for the wardrobe, make-up, and headdress departments, as well as, cast area coordinators and refreshment servers, among other positions. No theater experience is necessary.

Pageant Casting Call is January 14-16, 2022, and individuals of all sizes and ages are needed. The Pageant of the Masters production, Wonderful World, will present nightly from July 7 – September 2, 2022 and advance tickets are now on sale starting at $30 per person.
