Summary

Phil Lange’s June review records the Beaver Island Community Players’ May 11, 2000 performance of Nunsense. Elaine West directed the show, the review names the principal performers, and Dan Goggin waived royalties. An October letter adds Laraine Dawson on organ and Judy Meister on piano to the production record.

Evidence limits

The review confirms the performance and its reported royalty arrangement, but does not state the amount raised or provide a complete production ledger.
