Powered by GoogleCharming theater on a very pretty property. Beer and wine, taco truck which is great. Go early and sit on the patio.
Cozy location to catch a play. Founded by Art Institute and Goodman trained Art Teacher in 1941 ,managed since 1961 by DuneArts Foundation with stage for intimate professional performances and cabins for Actors and Interns. A must visit for Harbor Country.
My teen daughter and I visited the theater while on vacation. We watched Misery. The acting was phenomenal!! It far exceeded my expectations.
HONEST REVIEW FROM FIRST TIME GUEST. I honestly did not know what to expect prior to coming to Dunes Summer Theatre. I intentionally did not search up too much because I wanted to fully experience the excitement. Wow! I was blown away. We watched Talley's Folly and the show was spectacular. Almost 2 hours of well crafted live action of two most amazing actors with no intermission. Amazing experience is all I can say. Will definitely come back when we visit Mich. City.
My son did a musical theater class here and has never done anything like that before. The class was great and their amazing performance was fantastic! The staff seemed to really care about the kids of all ages!
