Hi Susan,
I've had good luck with Phalaris arundinaceae var. picta [1] (ribbon
grass) in shady spots.
If you have a nice bright foil for this dark beauty, Ophiopogon
planiscapus 'Nigrescens'[2] has worked great for me in shady
areas.
As Marge mentioned, a great number of Carex (sedges) are good for
shade. I've also recently become fond of Luzula (which is a rush),
especially Luzula sylvatica 'Aurea' [3].
