Girl From The North Country at Sheas Performing Arts Center

The American Financial Crisis is still raging in the winter of 1934. In Duluth, Minnesota, at a dilapidated board-house, the consequences are most noticeable. While his wife Elizabeth continues to struggle with dementia and occasionally displays some signs of mental clarity, the property's owner Nick Laine tussles to prevent the bank from seizing the building. He has been having a love affair with one of the tenants, Mrs. Neilsen, but is she really what he needs? 

There are problems with Nick and Elizabeth's off-spring as well. Gene has a problem with drinking and no clear direction in life, and Marianne is single and five months pregnant. Visitors and various eccentric locals come and go, each with their own mysteries and backstories. Amidst the evocative music of Bob Dylan, their secrets—which range from imprisonment to blackmail to morphine addiction—are steadily revealed.

This show is guaranteed to captivate even the most picky viewers with its superb plot, as proven by the various positive reviews. The best place to see it is at Sheas Performing Arts Center, Buffalo, New York, so be sure to set aside time for it, and you'll be in for something truly special.
