About This Production
Everyone knows Dr. Ruth Westheimer from her career as a pioneering radio and television sex therapist. Few, however, know the incredible journey that preceded it. From fleeing the Nazis in the Kindertransport and joining the Haganah (paramilitary) in Jerusalem as a scout and sniper, to her struggles to succeed as a single mother coming to America, Becoming Dr. Ruth is filled with the humor, honesty, and life-affirming spirit of Karola Ruth Siegel, the girl who became “Dr. Ruth”, Americaʼs most famous sex therapist.
WARNING: Strong sexual content
Becoming Dr. Ruth is presented by special arrangement with Dramatists Play Service, Inc., New York.
In the event of a cancellation, ticket holders will have the option to move their ticket to another performance.
