Always a fun, ballyhooed event, the Festival’s Celebrity Benefit Event is the almost-curtain-call finalé for the 2019 season. Only one week remains – through Aug. 31 – of the Festival and the Pageant show.

This red-carpet one night affair offers great art, red carpet celebrity entrances, and a live concert with Grammy award-winning Melissa Manchester. After her concert and prior to the 8:30 Pageant performance, the Acura RDX is finally being awarded to ONE lucky raffle winner. And, then, everyone settles in for the second-to-the-last weekend performance of “The Time Machine.”

Other guest celebrities scheduled to attending are Jonathan Adams (Last Man Standing), Shawn Christian (Days of our Lives), Robert Hays (Airplane!), Gregory Itzin (24), Eva LaRue (Chicken Soup For The Soul’s Animal Tales), Jerry Mathers (Leave it to Beaver), Joe Mantegna (Criminal Minds), Lea Thompson (Back to the Future), McKenzie Westmore (Face Off), Arianne Zucker (Days of our Lives) and many, many others. Appearance of celebrities subject to change.
