Wilbury Theatre Group has announced the cast and creative team of the Rhode Island premiere of the Tony Award-winning Girl from the North Country by Tony Award-nominated playwright Conor McPherson with music and lyrics by Bob Dylan.

The production is directed by Josh Short with musical direction by Milly Massey and choreography by Ali Kenner Brodsky. The cast features Anne Scurria, Jim O'Brien, Kimstelle Merisma, Carlin Fournier, Jessica Gates, Matt Fraza, Tanya Martin, Ricky Waugh, Jon Mael, Rodney Witherspoon, Philip Iredale, Scott Levine, Carrie Tully, Hannah Devine, David Rabinow, Dave Carney, and Riley Ratcliffe with scenic design by Monica Shinn, sound and lighting design by Andy Russ, costume design by Niki Healy, and stage management by Allison Marchetti.

"Like so many others, I've spent my whole life with Bob Dylan's music and I still find myself surprised by the depths of these songs," said Artistic Director Josh Short. "What Conor McPherson has done with them is breathtaking, he's mined the grief and the grace already living inside the music and built an entire world around it. This is a story about people on the edge of losing everything, and it reminds us that even in our darkest moments, there is still music, and there is still hope."
