The Dunes Arts Foundation, which operates Dunes Summer Theatre and Education Programs, was incorporated in the State of Indiana in 1951. The theatre is located in Michiana Shores, nestled on a scenic 20 acre wooded site, about a half mile from the Indiana Dunes and the Lake Michigan shore. The theatre campus has 8 cabins for summer actors and interns, and The Clay Cabin for summer art classes. Dunes Summer Theatre has been revitalized with much needed structural and grounds improvements in an effort to bring patrons a quality and comfortable experience.
