Samantha T. - Mable's "Pageant Master"
 Each summer, the Festival of Arts in Laguna Beach presents Pageant of the Masters. Pageant of the Masters is a production of living pictures. This summer's theme, "Only Make Believe," transported watchers from Greek Mythology to outer space and from Neverland to Sleepy Hollow. The Pageant moves its audience through these varied landscapes with living recreations of magazine covers, lithographs, illustrations, paintings, and sculptures.
This summer, Samantha T. from Mrs. Wagner's 1st grade class participated in the Pageant of the Masters. She was featured in an oil painting by John Falter, titled "Trick or Treating in the Burbs." This painting was featured as the Halloween 1958 cover of The Saturday Evening Post. It depicts a mother with 5 children and two dogs on Halloween night.This group of trick-or-treaters walks down a suburban street on Halloween night. Samantha plays the part of a child dressed as a green goblin.
When talking with Samantha about her experience with Pageant of the Masters, she told us that to play the part of the goblin in the picture she had to wear a painted cloth over her clothes, a mask and a hair covering in the same color as her mask. The best part of the performance, Samantha says, was "being on stage and walking across the stage." Samantha went on, "The stage was almost the size of our classroom." She really enjoyed the fact that her picture was chosen to be the picture that was used to show the audience how each picture was staged. Samantha said the hardest part of the experience was "standing still on stage." When asked how long they had to stand still (with the assistance of a safety belt) Samantha answered, "99 seconds." Besides the picture she was in, her favorite picture was "Confabulation of Dragons" by Scott Gustafson.
The full photo of Samantha in "Trick or Treating in the Burbs" can be seen on Fairmont's Flikr page.
