Since their whirlwind TV debut, the group has accumulated a long list of awards, including three Emmys, two PBS specials, multiple original Top 50 radio hits, four Top 10 albums, six million YouTube views and a hugely popular children’s book.

Family Night in the Park: Sanyuka Children’s Choir

Sanyuka Children’s Ministries, which means “be joyful” in the Luganda language, is an organization that started when Executive Director Allan Kizito noticed two orphaned children lingering near his home church in Kampala, Uganda in 2008. Kizito responded by recruiting volunteers to join him in caring for orphaned children. Sanyuka’s mission is to exercise the love of Jesus Christ and change lives in Uganda by giving the most vulnerable children a family, a home and a self-sustaining education.

Reduced Shakespeare Company “The Complete Works of William Shakespeare

The Complete Works of Williams Shakespeare is an irreverent, fast-paced romp through the Bard’s plays. The Reduced Shakespeare Company (RSC) is a three-man comedy troupe that takes the long, serious subjects and reduces them to short, sharp comedies. The show was London’s longest-running comedy, having clocked a very palpable nine years in London’s West End at the Criterion Theatre.

Friday, July 19

8:15 p.m., Hoover Auditorium

Mike Albert & the Big “E” Band

Mike Albert & the Big “E” Band returns for an “Ultimate Tribute” show dedicated to Elvis Presley. With songs including “All Shook Up,” “Can’t Help Falling in Love” and “Blue Suede Shoes,” Albert has won seven major world “Elvis” contests for his impersonation of the King of Rock & Roll. His powerful voice lends itself well to every type of Elvis song from the 1950s-1970s, which allows him to keep the show fresh with an ever-changing song line-up. Albert has been performing at Lakeside since 1997. Lakesiders look forward to his performances every year, and he never disappoints.
