Nunsense is ‘miraculous’

DOVER-FOXCROFT — A large crowd enjoyed the opening night of “Nunsense” at the Center Theatre in Dover-Foxcroft on Friday, Aug. 11. The cast of five women brought the audience to their feet and it seemed everyone left with smiles on their faces after seeing this hilarious musical comedy.

“Nunsense,” written by Dan Goggin, is being directed by Derrick Buschmann with musical direction by Deb Fournier.
