Hold that theatric practice pose for 90 seconds and you have a chance to star in the 2015 Pageant of the Masters.

People of all sizes and ages are needed to be cast members in the annual presentation of tableaux vivants, and no experience is needed.

The casting call for this year’s show, “The Pursuit of Happiness,” will be held at Irvine Bowl Park, 650 Laguna Canyon Road, Laguna Beach, from 7 to 9 p.m. Jan. 9 to 11.

“Everyone has a great time backstage, and many return year after year to take part in this one-of-a-kind performance,” said pageant director Diane Challis Davy in a statement. “The pageant just simply wouldn’t be possible without our volunteers.”

The artworks that will be recreated as living pictures next summer include images from an 1868 Currier and Ives lithograph, “Youth: Season of Love,” Norman Rockwell’s 1960 “The Window Washer,” and “The Last Supper” — the traditional finale.

Volunteers are also needed to help with wardrobe, makeup and refreshments.

Next summer’s performances will run daily at 8:30 p.m. from July 8 to Aug. 31.

For more information, call (949) 494-3663.
