Dracula, Day Of The Dead Headbands, More: Arts DuPage Month

DUPAGE COUNTY — Performances of "Dracula," a showing of "Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?" and a 1980's-themed event are just some of the activities planned throughout October during Arts DuPage Month.

“DuPage County has a large arts presence, but many residents are unaware of the abundance of cultural activities happening right here," Debbie Venezia, director of Arts DuPage, shared with Patch. "By shining a light on the offerings available, we hope to stimulate participation, both for those consuming the arts and those creating them.”
