The Lakeside Music & Arts Studio is thrilled to announce another year of children's theater at Shepherd of the Lake Lutheran Church (SOLLC). This year's musical production is "Malice in the Palace: The Story of Esther."
This fun, faith-filled musical retells the inspiring story of Esther — a young woman whose courage and compassion change the course of history. Through humor, music, and heart, we’ll explore what it means to stand up for what’s right and trust that God can use each of us “for such a time as this.”
