A local author recently released her fictional novel about female one-upsmanship set in the town of Dover, Mass.
Although the newly released fictional novel "Thin Rich Bitches" is set in Dover, and some of the characters are inspired by real residents, author Janet Josselyn won't be naming any names. The online-only book, released Tuesday, follows the story of Pippin Snowe, a recent divorcée who moved from Boston's Back Bay to a rundown old farmhouse in Dover she inherited from her great aunt, along with her 10-year-old son Zeke. The main character finds that she is out of her element and out of her league when she is introduced to the world of female one-upsmanship in town.

Tonight is the opening night for DSHS winter musical, Children of Eden. Children of Eden is a two-act musical play based on music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz and a book by John Caird.

“Where young talent grows."
Keith Greenfield is known by many in the area as the “Music Man” because of his involvement in music and theatre and his creation of Open Fields, http://www.open-fields.org/ a community theatre group geared toward children. The motto of the group --which Greenfield co-founded with fellow Dover resident Wendy Bornstein – is “Where young talent grows." “There was another theatre group in town geared toward adults first and children second,” said Greenfield. “There was a void for a program that was geared toward kids…Open Fields really helps shape who they become and teaches them about giving back to the community; it shapes who they become.” “It started with a group of 10 families originally at a roundtable at Keith’s house,” said Bornstein…
