Lakeside to Host Chautauqua Network Annual Meeting from July 21-24
 In the 19th and 20th centuries, "Chautauqua" was an educational and cultural movement that built communities and supported individuals in the development of their full potential spiritually, intellectually, culturally and physically. The concept spread throughout rural North America as hundreds of Chautauqua communities were established. However, by the mid-1920s the movement began to recede due to the rise of the automobile, the radio and access to education. Only a handful of these communities survived the decline. Today there are 14 Chautauqua communities across the United States and Canada, and the demand for authentic cultural experiences and continued learning opportunities is on the rise. This demand sparked the establishment of the Chautauqua Network, a group of organizations and individuals committed to promoting the Chautauqua concept. Lakeside will welcome representatives from each community for the Chautauqua Network Annual Meeting from July 21-24. Read more... |

Summer Stage Takes New Direction

Gurney's "Love Letters" for an evening of romantic comedy intended for adult audiences.

Lassie is sold to the Duke of Rudling (Nigel Bruce) in Scotland. The duke is kind to Lassie, and she is even cared for by the duke's affectionate granddaughter, Priscilla (Elizabeth Taylor). However, Lassie misses Joe and continuously escapes to go back to her original home.
On her last attempt, however, the trip becomes longer, and Lassie must depend upon the kindness of strangers, notably farmers Dally and Dan'l Fadden and handyman Rowlie.
Lassie finds herself facing dog catchers and is led on a long, dangerous journey as she tries to return to Joe. Read more...

Circo Comedia
 Unpredictable thrills, side-splitting comedy and daredevil stunts are the signature style of Circo Comedia starring the fantastic duo of Jean Saucier and Patrick Côté from Montreal, Canada.

The group previously performed in Lakeside in 2009.
Following in the tradition of the Quebec Circus, Saucier, master equilibrist, juggler, trick cyclist, acrobat and magician, performs his feats from dizzying heights while Côté, burlesque clown, expert roller skater and drummer, innocently tries his best to be the imperfect assistant. This family show is wildly funny and filled with unforgettable moments.
Saucier's career began when he delivered newspapers at age 11 on a unicycle. He attended Montreal's National Circus School when he was 18, and Cirque du Soleil noticed his talent and hired him. Read more...
