As an oasis from the daily, urban rat race, “Heroes’ Quest: The Indiana Dunes State Park” Radio Play and Puppet Show will transport the audience into an exciting, informative space where outdoor fun at the Dunes abound. Over the course of the play the young Granville clan discovers the true concept of the heroes that Saved the Dunes will be formulated via the inspiring performances of our local community members. There is even a documentary and audio version of the play being produced that will be available in the spring.
