Seize the Moment and Toast to the Good Life With "Eat, Drink & Be Merry"


LAGUNA BEACH, CA--(Marketwire - December 2, 2009) - Tickets for the 2010 Pageant of the Masters are on sale now!

The Pageant is world-renowned for its unique blend of breathtaking theatrical "living pictures" combined with live narration and music performed by an orchestra in a picturesque starlit amphitheater. The 2010 Pageant show, "Eat, Drink & Be Merry," will devote its uniquely theatrical celebration of the art of "living pictures" to a jubilant exploration of our creative capacity for seizing the moment, letting our hair down and raising a heartfelt toast to the good life. From Bacchus to Bourbon Street, from the elegant fetes of 17th century Europe to the flappers of the Jazz age, "Eat Drink and Be Merry" will savor the timeless masterpieces that captured and enhanced the exhilaration of good times, and even more remarkably, buoyed spirits when times were hard.

"Great seats are available right now, so call soon. 'Eat, Drink & Be Merry' promises to be a fun and entertaining show," said Ticket Services Director Lucia McLeod.

Ticket prices range from $15 to $100. A Pageant ticket entitles you to free unlimited admission to the Festival of Arts grounds where you can enjoy original artwork by over 140 of Southern Orange County's finest artists, art classes, musical entertainment, special art events, dining at Gina's Alfresco and so much more.

The Pageant of the Masters will be performed nightly from July 7 through August 31, 2010 with the Celebrity Gala Benefit Performance to be held on Saturday, August 28th. The box office will be closed for the holidays from December 21, 2009 through January 3, 2009. Pageant tickets are a great holiday gift.
