"ACTS OF FAITH"
Grace Paley (1922-2007) was a writer and social activist who explored the lives of ordinary women in her punchy, poignant short fiction.
 A world premiere, Acts of Faith, tracks the shifting patterns of love, identity, and creativity across a woman's life cycle through the story of Faith, a single major character who appears repeatedly in The Collected Stories of Grace Paley. Tracing conflicts in Faith's life from her 20's through her 50's as she struggles to define herself both as a woman and as a writer, Acts of Faith explores the shifting dynamics of sexual politics and intimacy in the last half of the 20th century. Adapted for the stage by Kathleen Jones in collaboration with Sharyn C.
Blumenthal and Directed by Sharyn C. Blumenthal.
Features Linda Libby and Kathi Diamant as part of the cast.
In the lobby enjoy the fascinating art work of Helen Redman.
