Soap Opera Stars Glammed Up at Festival of Arts and Pageant of Masters
Daytime stars come out for a unique evening of entertainment.
Many of the stars of daytime came out to celebrate The Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach, California and The Pageant of the Masters on August 24. The Pageant of the Masters is considered the most entertaining and star-studded night of the summer art season. The unique experience offers guests an evening of fine art and entertainment, and a presentation of a special performance titled The Time Machine in which actors are turned into living paintings and put on display. John O’Hurley (Greg Schaeffer, The Edge of the Night and Stephen Slade on Santa Barbara) hosted the evening, which also included a special performance by Melissa Manchester. The Festival of Arts sponsors art education programming, art exhibits and provides art scholarships to local high school students, along with grants for local non-profit art organizations. You can view a gallery of the stars from Bold and Beautiful, Days of our Lives, General Hospital and Young and Restless on the red carpet right here on Soaps.com.
