...Pageant Players deal with the themes of war, alienation, sex, education, the destruction of the natural environment, and the oppression that they view as encroaching upon their daily lives. Using images derived from their bodies, stage movements, sounds, and props, they attempt to depict "what is beautiful in the world, while describing the forces that would destroy that beauty."

...most lauded guest of the season will be Quincy House Man-of-the-Year, Arthur Penn, who has accomplished the rare feat of spectacular success on both stage and screen.
