by Amanda Theriot-Greenwell - Feb 14, 2026

Actor’s Express has opened their 38th season with the acclaimed musical Girl From the North Country, now playing through March 8. With book by Connor McPherson alongside the songs of Bob Dylan, the jukebox musical’s UK and New York debuts in 2017 and 2018, respectively, earned favorable reviews and award nominations.
