Girl From The North Country @ Actor's Express Theatre Company

Next up Russell will be taking on the role of Joe Scott in Conor McPherson's Girl From the North Country. It’s 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota and a group of restless travelers find respite from the Great Depression in a modest boarding house—a place where love and loss intertwine, and where music, resilience and hope breathe life into their weary spirits. Connor McPherson daringly transforms the cherished songs of Bob Dylan, weaving them into a tale as breathtaking as the tunes that underscore it. The character Joe Scott is an escaped convict and boxer seeking to rebuild his life. He develops a relationship with Marianne Laine, the adopted daughter of the guesthouse owner. His character represents a quest for redemption, justice, and a "brighter future" while navigating societal prejudice.
