LYON AIR MUSEUM TO HOST EXCLUSIVE PACKARD EXHIBIT Lyon Air Museum, a showcase for vintage aircraft and vehicles will host an exhibit of seven rare Packard automobiles from the General Lyon collection. For the first time all seven Packard automobiles will be on public display July 7 – August 5, 2012, at Lyon Air Museum, located on the west side of the runway at John Wayne Airport in Orange County. The Packard Motor Car Company produced and sold automobiles from 1899 – 1958. The slogan, “Ask the man who owns one” was coined in 1903 when a potential customer asked for nonexistent sales literature. Packard, the “American Classic Car,” sold automobiles to celebrities such as; Clark Gable, Tyrone Power, Errol Flynn, Al Jolson, Ruby Keeler, Rosalind Russell, Ann Sheridan, Dick Powell, Jean Harlow, Tony Curtis, Gary Cooper and Bob Hope. Previous owners among the Lyon collection include Mexican President Lazaro Cardenas; Los Angeles Times publisher, Otis Chandler and well to do entrepreneurs such as the Kraft Family; George Hormel, founder of Hormel Foods; and William F. Harrah, founder of Harrah’s Hotel and Casinos, to name a few. After the December 7, 1941 attack on

Pearl Harbor and the subsequent entry into World War II by the United States, Packard’s slogan “ask the man who owns one” was temporarily marketed as “ask the man who flies one.” The Packard Motor Car Company joined the auto industry trend, converting to full-time war machine production. Packard built engines for both military PT boats and P-51 Mustang fighter planes. Although a P-51 Mustang is not scheduled to be on display during the Packard exhibit, it is not uncommon to occasionally catch a glimpse of one of the impressive Packard powered fighters at the Museum. The Lyon Packards are among the best and most historic examples left in existence. The preeminent coach builders of the time are all represented – Darrin, Dietrich, Derham, LeBaron and Rollston/Rollson. Today, Packard’s legacy lives on. Groups such as Packards International Motor Car Club in Santa Ana, California preserve the brand and existing automobiles. Packards International has members in all 50 states and 13 foreign countries. The Packard exhibit at Lyon Air Museum aims to share a piece of Packard’s legacy with the community. The 30,000-sq. ft. Lyon Air Museum

opened in Dec. 2009. The facility represents the fulfillment of a dream of Major General William Lyon, USAF (Ret), who held the position of Chief of the U.S. Air Force Reserve from 1975 to 1979. Currently, General Lyon is Chairman of the Board and CEO of William Lyon Homes, Inc., Newport Beach, Calif. His passion for aviation history and youth education is the driving force behind Lyon Air Museum. In establishing the Museum, General Lyon sought to create a world-class facility that would be available to the local community and would offer educational exhibits designed to inspire young people. The

Museum has on exhibit some of the world’s rarest operational aircraft and vehicles. Lyon Air Museum is located at 19300 Ike Jones Road, Santa Ana, CA 92707. P: 714/210-4585 F: 714/210-4588. Email: info@lyonairmuseum.org Web: www.lyonairmuseum.org Hours of operation are daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Admission rates: General admission - $12; Seniors and Veterans$9; Ages 5-17 - $6; Under age 5 – free. Groups of 10 or more - $1 off each visitor. Pre-arranged school groups – free.

80 Years of Art Front and Center: The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show & Pageant of the Masters Return to Laguna Beach

Since 1932, the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts has been dedicated to showcasing the most talented artists, promoting the finest art and producing the most unique and fascinating art events in the state of California and even the nation. The Festival has come to be known for two principle events that span. the length of July and August of each year. The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show is a rigorously juried art show that in 2012 is featuring 140 of Orange County’s finest artists. Pageant of the Masters – Where Art Comes to Life is an intricate stage production featuring faithful art re-creations of classical and contemporary works with real people posing to look like their counterparts in the original pieces. In the summer of 1932, when the country was suffering the ravages of the Great Depression, a group of Laguna Beach artists decided they were going to do something to lift the spirits of those around them (and maybe earn a little bit of muchneeded money). They transformed the main street in Laguna Beach into a virtual outdoor art gallery and the Laguna Beach Festival of Arts was

born. Eighty years later, The Festival of Arts — California’s Premier Fine Art Show is consistently named among the top ten art shows in the nation, and it is the flagship event in the art colony culture for which Laguna Beach is now so well known. In 2012 the Festival of Arts is offering 140 of the finest photographers, sculptors, painters, and jewelers the opportunity to display and sell original works of fine art. The beautiful Festival of Arts grounds, with exhibitor spaces arranged elegantly around an inviting lawn area (the Festival Green), makes for a warm, classy venue perfect for live entertainment. The Festival’s Art Center provides a spacious area perfectly suited for visitors to create their own art with the help of artists. That’s why the Festival of Arts has become a summer entertainment mecca as well as an art appreciation destination. Enjoy hands-on art activities such as workshops in printmaking and ceramics, plus nightly live entertainment on the green. Special events such as a world-class jazz concert series, cooking demonstrations, youth arts education days, a fashion show with an ecologically

artistic twist, celebrity events and much, much more will keep you happily coming to the Festival of Arts all summer long. The show is open daily from July 1 – August 31, 2012, from 10am to 11:30pm (July 1 – 4, 10am to 6pm and August 25, 10am to 3:30pm). General Admission: Weekdays $7, Weekends $10; Students & Seniors: Weekdays $4, Weekends $6; Free Admission for Children 12 and under, Military, and Laguna Beach Residents. There is quite simply nothing like the Festival’s extraordinary production, Pageant of the Masters - where art comes to life. The Pageant of the Masters is an internationally acclaimed production of tableaux vivants – “living pictures” – that for the last seventy-nine years has combined the worlds of theater and art. Under the guidance of an experienced and talented staff, volunteers are magically transformed into life-sized re-creations of classical and contemporary paintings, sculptures and other works of art. Presentations are accompanied by the music of a full, live orchestra and live narration in a beautiful, starlit amphitheater in Laguna Beach. The 2012 Pageant of the

Masters presentation of The Genius will showcase the fascinating and unpredictable relationship between art and technology. Running nightly July 7 – August 31, 2012 at 8:30pm. Tickets for Pageant of the Masters are $15 - $100 (depending on seat location and night of the week). Pageant of the Masters ticket holders can present their stub at The Festival of Arts front gate for free admission to the art show all summer long. The Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters are sponsored in part by Acura, Cox Communications, Fidelity Investments, KOST Radio 103.5, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and The Orange County Register. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. For general information, call (949)4941145 or visit the website at www.LagunaFestivalofArts.org. The event is located at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, California. Proceeds support the arts and art education in and about Laguna Beach.

Vanguard University Dedicated New “Veterans Courtyard of Honor” Some 150 local veterans and supporters joined Vanguard University’s (VU) Director of Veteran Affairs Brent Theobald and the Vanguard Veteran Advisory Board to celebrate the dedication of the new “Veterans Courtyard of Honor.” While some universities have “memorials” in dedication to veterans, VU has created a unique courtyard supported by pillars with plaques representing the armed services as a place to gather in remembrance and honor. Former Chief of Naval Operations (CNO) and VU Board Member Admiral Vernon E. Clark, USN (Ret.) served as the keynote speaker. Admiral Clark, who retired in 2005 after completing the Navy’s second-longest tenure as CNO, spoke about his experience in leadership and addressed the difficulty facing veterans today as they transition from the military to civilian life. “This special courtyard serves as a symbol of our appreciation for those of you who have chosen to wear the ‘cloth of the nation,’” stated Admiral Clark. Following the keynote address was a moment of silence to the song “Taps.” “Value Pillars” are positioned around the courtyard to honor the sacrifice and legacy of family, friends and comrades. Donors of each pillar chose a value and a quote or scripture verse and donated resources in honor of a loved one. A ceremony unveiled the pillars which represented “Honor” - Kenneth E. Gail, USN; “Gratitude” - Clifford A. Taylor, USN; “Camaraderie” - Miriam E. Dotson; “Commitment” - Paul Oddo, USN; “Justice” - Jack E. Dotson; “Truth” - Leonard L. Wheeland, and “Integrity” - Thomas W. Prince. The courtyard on campus holds extra sentimental meaning to VU President Dr. Carol Taylor who personally donated funds for a pillar in honor of her father, Clifford A. Taylor, who served in the Navy in WWII. “The Veterans Courtyard of Honor stands as a beacon to say to our veterans, ‘welcome home. Thank you for your service. You are not alone. We pray for your peace and for the day when wars will be no more,’” stated President Taylor. A very touching moment was during the Service Melody as veterans stood to the melody from their branch of service. Other highlights of the ceremony included the Presentation of the Colors by USMC Color Guard Mag 39 and the national anthem sung by VU student Caitlin Barney ’13, the invocation by Chaplain Captain David Sarmiento, USAF. The Challenge Coin Ceremony was another special moment in which VU honored each of their graduating veteran students by presenting them with a unique Vanguard University Challenge Coin. Dating back to WWI, challenge coins are traditionally carried by military members to display pride and recognition. The event concluded with the unveiling of the pillars and benediction by Chaplain David Brooks, Costa Mesa PD, Ret, Police Captain and Vietnam Veteran. Distinguished guests in the crowd also included Fred and Ruth Waugh, Jack Hammett, Edison Miller, Adele and David Oddo, Dixie and Ed Arnold, Tessy and Col. Ron Nipper, Jack Hammett, Col. Stewart Navarre, and Don Andrews. The “Veterans Courtyard of Honor” is an enduring symbol of gratitude to honor the service of military personnel and veterans. The courtyard was created as part of VU’s commitment to honor the legacy of all veterans while preparing the next generation as they transition out of the military during this difficult economic time. The courtyard will be used to host University events and receptions. There are still naming opportunities with all proceeds going directly to Student Veteran Scholarships. For more information about the “Veterans Courtyard of Honor” watch this video at http://vimeo.com/42732202 or visit http://veterans.vanguard.edu/.

Pageant Tech 101: Advances in the Technology of Tableaux Vivants As the Festival of Arts makes plans for this summer ’s celebration of its 80th anniversary, the Pageant of the Masters, is readying its latest celebration of art in “living pictures” – tableaux vivants – to be performed nightly in the Irvine Bowl, beginning July 7. Since this year’s program, The Genius, is focusing on the impact of technology in the arts, Pageant director Diane Challis Davy and two of her key technical collaborators were asked about how they have benefited from advances in theatrical technology. They were all excited about improvements in lighting and sound that will greatly enhance the show, and all agreed that technical advances have been instrumental in keeping the Pageant vital. But, as veteran sound and video engineer Jon Tschirgi emphasized, “At the Pageant, tech has to be evolutionary rather than revolutionary.” During her 17 years as Pageant director, Diane Challis Davy has always been on the lookout for ways to make the Pageant just that much more theatrical, engaging and imaginative while still honoring the sense of tradition and history the Pageant has created during its nearly eight decades. As a painter, costume designer and theatrical artist, Challis Davy has reintroduced themes, occasional live singers and other theatrical gestures to her Pageants. As a result, the Pageant has become more fluid, with seamless transitions often performed in full view of the audience. Other technical advances have provided some of the Pageant’s most memorable moments: In the heat of the summer of 2003, it “snowed” in the Irvine Bowl. And in 2011, giant dragons “breathed fire” and held court in the Irvine Bowl. One other constant has been the unique challenge of live performance in a 2,600-seat outdoor venue. This summer, that venue will showcase subtle but invaluable improvements to both lighting and sound. With an extensive background in audio, and 21 years with the Pageant, Jon Tschirgi is a master of many domains. Last year, he was listed not only as Sound and Video Engineer, but also credited for his contributions to Video Production and Video Special Effects. When asked about what technical improvement excites him most, Page 14

there was no contest. “This year, with our brand new L-Acoustics all-digital sound system, the sound is going to be phenomenal,” he said with infectious enthusiasm. “I’m confident there will be a clarity and excitement in the sound that we have never come close to. This L-Acoustics system is the same sound system they use at the Hollywood Bowl and the Civic Opera House. And in Orange County, we are the only venue that has this sound system.” Richard Hill has been the Pageant’s Technical Director for 22 years. He’s still energized by his collaboration with director Diane Challis Davy. This summer, he’s especially excited about the implementation of an LED stage lighting system. “With these new LED lights, you can dim them and they retain the correct color temperature.” Since reliable, high-resolution video projectors became affordable, director Challis Davy has been especially pleased with the opportunity this has created for crafting mini-documentaries that can “tell more of the story.” Here again, advances in computer technology and software have given Tschirgi and Hill the tools to create these visual effects inhouse. And with the appearance of the flying saucer hovering over the hillside in 2001’s Beyond the Horizon, the use of inflatables also became a popular addition to Pageant special effects. Since then, inflatables like King Kong (2009) and a dragon (2011) have all made memorable Pageant appearances. Technical Director Hill recalled some of the challenges he faced

The Newport News

when he first came to work at the Pageant in the 1980s. “When I got here, we used to hoist the [lighting instrument] pipes up and down with block-and-tackle. There was no counterweight system. There was also no turntable stage (adjoining the stage house to the audience’s left), until the late 1980s. Its impact on the pace and rhythm of the Pageant since then cannot be overstated. Director Challis Davy has been particularly pro-active in creating multiple uses for the turntable stage to dramatic effect. But, in Richard Hill’s estimation, even more significant was the completion in 2004 of the new scene shops. These made it possible to create more and larger sets and provide for their storage and easy movement onto the stage. Director Challis Davy also noted how the search for Pageant artworks used to require hours of searching through the Pageant’s limited art library as well as all other local library systems. Today, she marvels at the ability to explore the world’s greatest art collections at the click of a mouse. Her longtime scriptwriter Dan Duling concurred. For all the improvements and innovations, the Pageant is still live theatre with a live narrator and professional 30-piece orchestra, and hundreds of volunteers making up the cast and backstage support teams. Director Challis Davy, for one, wouldn’t have it any other way. Throughout, she has maintained a clear vision of what’s fundamentally unchanged during its 79 years. “Our very ‘hands on’ way of building tableaux will never change. There is no replacement

for the time-consuming, trialand-error work that is done by the team. Set construction, set painting, making costumes, applying makeup...these tasks are exacting and must be done the old fashioned way. It’s a proverbial labor of love.” Challis Davy and her team agree that sometimes magical moments where art and life intersect are possible. That’s why, nearly 80 years later, the Pageant is still in the business of making “living pictures.” Evolutionary, and maybe just a little bit revolutionary. The Pageant of the Masters will be performed nightly from Saturday, July 7, through Friday, August 31, 2012. Tickets for The Genius, the 2012 Pageant of the Masters, may be purchased at www.PageantTickets.com. Tickets start at $15. For further information, call 949-497-6852, or toll free 800-487-3378. The Festival of Arts and Pageant of the Masters are sponsored in part by Acura, Cox Communications, Fidelity Investments, KOST Radio 103.5, the Ritz-Carlton Laguna Niguel, and The Orange County Register. The Festival of Arts is a non-profit organization that produces The Festival of Arts – California’s Premier Fine Art Show and the Pageant of the Masters. For general information, call (949) 494-1145 or visit the website at www.LagunaFestivalofArts.org. The event is located at 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, California. Proceeds support the arts and art education in and about Laguna Beach.

Ladies Dominate the Field in the $30,000 Red, White and Blue Classic Grand Prix

Josephine Nor-Lantzman (BRA) aboard Chello Z It was déjà vu this afternoon as Josephina Nor-Lantzman (BRA) and Tina Di Landri went head to head in the jump-off for the $30,000 Red, White and Blue Classic Grand Prix. The first week of the series featured the $30,000 Blenheim Classic Grand Prix where both riders returned in the jump-off as the final two rounds. Di Landri put up the final time and bested the field, leaving Nor-Lantzman (BRA) in second, respectively. Today, Nor Lantzman (BRA) was able to scare off the competition and seek revenge without fault to take the $30,000 Red, White and Blue Classic Grand Prix, presented by Ritz Carlton - Laguna Niguel. Seven nations represented the twenty six rounds of today’s Grand Prix. Leaving it to the young rider from Brazil, Josephina NorLantzman (BRA) was the only rider to post two clean rounds and master the course designed by fellow Brazilian, Anderson Lima. “She did a phenomenal job.” Lima complemented Nor-Lantzman, “We set a tough course, but Josephina (Nor-Lantzman) handled it great.” Of the sixteen efforts, riders found complications coming into a wide oxer with only four strides to regroup and set for a skinny vertical. Other challenges riders faced included a vertical-oxer-vertical triple combina-

tion, an oxer with a liverpool, a triple bar to vertical combination and a tight time allowed of 87 seconds. After three rounds, “we decided to adjust the time to allow to 92 seconds,” noted Lima “for a little more comfort around the course and to allow them to jump better, “The level of horses was great and I’m glad the design complimented all of them.” Nor-Lantzman (BRA) took a strong focus of the course and was able to guide her twelve-year-old Warmblood, Chello Z, to a fast and clean time of 84.999 seconds. “The course was tough enough,” Nor-Lantzman commented, “There were a lot of short lines to verticals that made you have to ride a little bit.” Only two rounds later, Di Landri was also able to put up a fault free effort under the time allowed in 87.350 seconds, creating a jump-off. With five riders to go in the class, Tiffany Sullivan and Hayley Farms’ Tristan were able to qualify in a time of 87.517 seconds and join Nor-Lantzman (BRA) and Di Landri in a ladies’ jump-off. After a quick reset and Sullivan pulling out of the jump-off, NorLantzman (BRA) and Di Landri were once again going head to head for the win. Nor-Lantzman (BRA) and Chello Z galloped in and immediately presented Chello Z to the first obstacle on the opposite end of the

field, a wide oxer that was not used in the qualifying round. “My plan for the jump-off was to just go for it,” Nor-Lantzman commented, “There was a new fence so I was careful, but I didn’t want what happened the first week to happen again. Everything went perfectly, and he jumped great!” Di Landri and Avargo came in knowing they had to beat the swift time of 37.680 seconds, but with the confidence of knowing it had been done before, Di Landri wasn’t nervous. “My plan for the jump-off was to be loose and have a tight enough roll back to cut off some time. “noted Di Landri, “Avargo’s turns are so good I knew he could do it.” Di Landri had an unfortunate rail on the first oxer and decided to retire and finish second, respectively. “Unfortunately my plan didn’t work out.” Di Landri continued, “Avargo is such a great horse though and I was so proud of him.” With only one round in the jumpoff, it was going to take a brilliant ride and a careful horse to get though it without fault. “The jump-off was designed for the riders to reach all areas of the course.” revealed Lima (BRA). “The turn after the first jump was meant to be the hardest but Josephina (Nor-Lantzman) handled it great. I thought it was a fun class.” “I love having a course designed

by a Brazilian because it gives me more fire and more adrenaline when I ride and it sure pays off. I thought Anderson (Lima) designed a great course,” smiled Nor-Lantzman. “I’m still laughing though because this week is the Red, White and Blue Classic and the first week of the series I got a red, the second week I got a white, and this week a blue! I was so proud of Chello Z. He always tries his heart out.” Nor-Lanztman will return home to Del Mar to prepare for the Showpark July Series. The Blenheim Red, White and Blue Classic wrapped the four weeks of top level Show Jumping and High Performance Hunters in San Juan Capistrano, CA. With daily sunshine, green grass footing, intense competition and exciting spills and thrills, the summer show season has only just begun. The Blenheim EquiSports horse shows will shift to The Del Mar Horsepark for the Showpark July Series. Highlights include the $30,000 Racing Festival Grand Prix, presented by EquiFit, inc, the $10,000 USHJA International Hunter Derby, the $30,000 August Festival Grand Prix, presented by Mary’s Tack and Feed, and much more!

Festival Green sizzles with Jazz The Festival green will sizzle on the afternoon of July 7th when Jessy J, one of the most exciting young artists to hit the contemporary jazz scene in years, brings her Latin-spiced jazz melodies to Laguna Beach. Jessy J will kick off the Festival’s special event series “Jazz on the Green,” which throughout the summer will headline many of jazz’s most notable figures. In just a few short years, Jessy J has emerged as a unique talent. A jazz prodigy with Mexican roots, Jessy J represents a nontraditional yet incredibly exciting classic jazz sound with a slightly Latin flare. Her critically acclaimed song “Tequila Moon” won “Contemporary Jazz Song of the Year” from R&R and Billboard in 2008, and Jessy J was named “Debut Artist of the Year” the same. Jessy J also received high critical acclaim from publications across the board, including Latina Style Magazine, Jazziz Magazine and Saxophone Journal Magazine. She was even credited with starting a new movement in Jazz in the May cover story of JAZZIZ magazine and “increasing the boundaries of jazz both musically and demographically.” People en Espanol says simply this young Latina Page 18

is “revolutionizing jazz.” “We could not have asked for a better artist to launch our Jazz on the Green series than Jessy J,” said Susan Davis, director of special events for the Festival of Arts. “She’s young, she’s beautiful, she’s delightful, and her zesty sound is sensational. She’s going to make Festival attendees want to come out for every Jazz on the Green performance of the season!” Jessy J will perform on July 7th from 1pm - 3pm on stage at the Festival green. There is no extra cost beyond admission to the Festival of Arts for guests to enjoy the performance by Jessy J.

2012 PAGEANT HONORS THE MASTERS IN “THE GENIUS” The king of trial and error Thomas Edison once famously said, “Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration.” Few people are more aware of the amount of time and effort that will be required to turn her inspiration into the 2012 Pageant of the Masters than its director Diane Challis Davy. But, even as she finalizes her selections of artworks for next summer’s world-famous theatrical celebration of art in “living pictures” - tableaux vivants - Challis Davy is excited about the possibilities inherent in its theme, The Genius. “The theme actually originated back in 2009 when we produced The Muse,” Challis Davy explained. “That show examined women’s roles in making and inspiring art, and was selected from a feminine point of view. I thought it would be interesting to craft a ‘companion’ show, one with a masculine sensibility, focusing on the power, strength and intelligence inherent in masterful works of art.” Challis Davy has also chosen a secondary theme for The Genius, the relationship between art and advances in science and technology. “I’m curious about the materials and techniques used by the old masters,” Challis Davy said. “One hundred fifty years ago, artists had to make their own paints! You almost had to be a chemist or alchemist. And I’m fascinated by the huge roles played by developments in optics and photography in painting realistic works.” She was quick to add, “But, you won’t have to be a rocket scientist to enjoy The Genius.” Clearly, the 2012 Pageant will be very different from the whimsical escapism of last summer’s Only Make Believe. Tributes to the lives and masterpieces of extraordinary artists whose works have withstood the test of time will be in the forefront of the 2012 Pageant, including Michelangelo, Vincent van Gogh and the Dutch Masters, to name a few. Legendary composers will be feted in series of artworks dedicated to the “Maestros of Music,” and scientific innovation will be highlighted in “The Stars of Astronomy.” And Pageant traditionalists will no doubt welcome the return of the Renaissance master, Leonardo da Vinci, whose “The Last Supper” has been the Pageant finale, with rare exceptions, since 1936. “’The Last Supper,’ is arguably the most recognizable masterwork of all time,” Challis Davy observed,

“and Leonardo da Vinci was a genius for the ages, no question. He was not afraid to experiment and take chances,” she said. Longtime Pageant scriptwriter Dan Duling, already busy researching the narration for the show, added, “Genius exists in every field of endeavor, and it’s a fantastic source for moving stories of triumph, tragedy and courage. If you’re looking for inspiration, this show is going to dare you to think big.” When asked about what surprises might be in store for 2012 in terms of music or special effects, Challis Davy, preparing for her 17th year as Pageant director, noted there are plans for some advances in sound design and digital projection, and hopes for some “unexpected light effects.” Laughing, she added, “Sorry, no 3-D glasses.” With its ambitious selection of acknowledged masterpieces, The Genius will certainly be an exciting centerpiece for the Festival of Art’s celebration of its 80th anniversary. The Pageant’s annual open casting calls will take place in January where volunteers sign up, get their photos and measurements on file and then wait to hear if they’ll be a part of the upcoming Pageant. Last year, more than 1,100 people turned out. Everyone associated with the production understands the Pageant wouldn’t be possible without that spirit of volunteer dedication. As Challis Davy acknowledges, their dedication and loyalty are the remarkable engines that sustain the Pageant. “I love art AND theatre,” Challis Davy said, “and I’m lucky to be surrounded by people who love the hard work it takes to produce a very elaborate show. I get inspiration from my scriptwriter, my staff, my composers, and from the scores of enthusiastic research volunteers who come up with great suggestions!” The Pageant of the Masters will be performed nightly from Saturday, July 7, through Friday, August 31, 2012. Tickets for The Genius, the 2012 Pageant of the Masters, are currently on sale to Festival of Arts members, and may be purchased by the general public at www.PageantTickets.com, beginning December 1st. Tickets start at $15. For further information, call 949-497-6852, or toll free 800-487-3378. photos by Kate Noelle The Newport News
