About the Show
In a run-down boarding house in Duluth, Minnesota, strangers cross paths – experiencing love, loss, and everything in between. Amongst the dust and deep in the throes of the Great Depression, these wayward travelers fill the guesthouse with music, hope, and soul. Girl from the North Country features songs by Bob Dylan, adapted for this production, including “Forever Young,” “Hurricane,” and “Like a Rolling Stone,” to create a moving American story of resilience in uncertain times.
