Written and directed by celebrated playwright Conor McPherson and featuring Tony Award-winning orchestrations by Simon Hale, Girl From The North Country reimagines 20 legendary songs of Bob Dylan as they’ve never been heard before, including “Forever Young,” “All Along The Watchtower,” “Hurricane,” and “Like A Rolling Stone.”

It’s 1934 in Duluth, Minnesota. We meet a group of wayward travellers whose lives intersect in a guesthouse filled with music, life and hope. Experience this “profoundly beautiful” Broadway production (The New York Times) brought to vivid life by an extraordinary company of actors and musicians.

For the past few years our manager, Neil, and our Box Office/Technical Assistant, Will, have been researching the history of the Riverside and have unearthed a vast array of fascinating photos, news articles and other items from our 109 year past.

Tonight's event will consist of a talk lead by the cinema staff on the history of the building which will feature slides and archive photographs, news articles and video clips.

The Riverside Project will lead on from tonight's event as we gather even more information of our history and start to interview various people from its past that will eventually form the basis for a documentary film that we intend to make about the cinema and its history, and intend to screen in September 2025 to mark our 110th Anniversary.

The evening will be a "pay what you feel" event and the proceeds will go towards the project to help with various costs in making the final film.

Thank you all for your continued support throughout the years as without it we would not be here.
