DUNES ARTS SUMMER THEATRE CONCLUDES 2025 SEASON WITH 75th ANNIVERSARY GALA MIDNIGHT IN PARIS ON SATURDAY, OCTOBER 18
Cocktails, Gourmet Dinner, Open Bar, Live Entertainment, Silent Auction and Raffle Highlight Evening

MICHIGAN CITY, IND. — Dunes Arts Summer Theatre announces their annual gala in support of The Dunes Arts Foundation. Midnight in Paris takes place on Saturday, October 18 from 6 p.m. CST (7 p.m. EST) to 10 p.m. CST (11 p.m. EST) at Uptown Social, 907 Franklin Street, Michigan City, Ind.

 “The Dunes Arts Foundation was formed in 1951 with a big dream to bring a taste of Hollywood to Michigan City,” says Artistic Director Steve Scott. “Seventy-five years later we have a lot to celebrate. In addition to audience and critical acclaim for this summer’s three major productions, our 4th annual Broadway Cabaret, our 3rd annual New Plays Festival, and our continuing affiliations with the Safe Harbor program for children and the Holdcraft Center, we have grown our series of classes for pre-teens and teenagers. Midnight in Paris  will celebrate all of these accomplishments while looking forward to an even more successful 75th anniversary season in 2026.”

Dunes Arts Foundation will be celebrating with cocktails, dinner and performances inspired by the theme Midnight in Paris. Raffles and a live auction will take place to raise additional funds for The Dunes Arts Foundation. Guests are encouraged to dress in black-tie (optional).
