Live music returns to the Center Theatre

DOVER-FOXCROFT — Denny Breau will be performing a live concert at the Center Theatre in Dover-Foxcroft at 7 p.m. on Saturday, June 26. This will be the first live concert held at the Center Theatre since November of 2019 and the first live concert in the Dexter-based Wayside Grange’s 2021 Concert Series which is being hosted at the Center Theatre.

“We had a holiday concert back in 2019,” said Patrick Myers the Center Theatre’s executive director, “and had shows planned for late spring and summer 2020 which were canceled due to the COVID pandemic. So it’s been quite awhile since we’ve had a live concert at the Theatre. We couldn’t be happier that the Wayside Grange is bringing their concert series to the Theatre and that a musical icon like Denny Breau is going to grace our stage.”
