DUNES ARTS SUMMER THEATRE ANNOUNCES 2025 SEASON

Dunes Arts Summer Theatre announces its highly anticipated 74th summer season, including five productions “She Loves Me,” “Outside Mullingar,” and—kicking things off on May 30—“Misery.” Individual tickets ($35), senior/student tickets ($30), group sales ($25 for four or more) and season subscriptions ($150) can be purchased at dunesARTS.org or by calling (219) 879-7509.

Nestled within the woodsy dunes of Michiana Shores, Dunes Summer Theatre, located at 288 Shady Oak Dr, Michigan City, Ind., has brought professional performances to Harbor Country for more than seven decades and is northwest Indiana’s longest-running summer theater program.

Artistic Director Steve Scott, who joined Dunes Summer Theatre in 2021 after producing more than 200 productions at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre for more than three decades, is especially excited about this year’s offerings to southwest Lake Michigan’s performing arts community. “Our theme this year is ‘Opposites Attract,’” said Scott. “Our audiences will delight—and in some cases be terrified by—the results when very different people are forced together in highly emotional circumstances. It’s the essence of theater, and I’m very excited to see the results.”
