"Pageant" pits six beauty queens against each other in the Glamouresse annual extravaganza. Miss Texas, Miss Great Plains, Miss Deep South, Miss Industrial Northeast, Miss West Coast and Miss Bible Belt, sing, dance and camp it up in gowns and bathing suits. A hilarious talent contest is equaled only by the zany "spokesmodel" event which requires them to hawk the sponsor's outrageous cosmetics. While the girls swirl around the charming host, Frankie Cavalier, judges from the audience decide who will be Miss Glamouresse.

The cast includes: Timothy Avant, Brendan Joel Bartlett, J. Edmond Fond, John Judge, Mac McCormick, Eric Parkin, Douglas Smith, and Craig M. Thiede.
