Sounds like you are looking for dry shade plants. Here is an article listing many such plants:
I do know that some of the varieties listed in this article such as vinca minor, snowdrops, bluebells and daffodils are appropriate for your planting zone.

In my research I also came across the "cleome" which is for your plant hardiness zone (4-11), shade tolerant and heat tolerant. For more information go here:

Here are some articles about shade tolerant plants:
