the community are coming to-
gether to honor the memory
of Leah Goodwin, a major player in
Florence’s theater world who passed
away in 2018. Presented by “Team
Leah,” with the blessing of her family,
the Remembering Leah Benefit Per-

2 p.m.

to raise money for the community.
Honoring Leah was a natural choice,
as Leah’s guidance helped encour-

younger brother, Jonah.
Nyah has put together a 60-minute
set, featuring some of her original songs
and duets with Jonah, her friend William
Owens and her former vocal coach Ja-
