Naomi will give a solo performance of Becoming Grace, a play based on the life of Grace Paley, as a benefit for Mesa Refuge. Culled from snatches of Paley's stories, poems, essays and interviews, the play describes her life as a Jewish writer, mother, activist and, ultimately, lioness of literature.  The performance will be followed by a reception at the Mesa Refuge.
