Written by Mark St. Germain

A ONE-WOMAN SHOW

FEATURING acclaimed actress

ALice Springer as Dr. Ruth

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 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.

Alice Springer is excited to reprise her role as Dr. Ruth and has performed in numerous productions, including Annie, One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and Annie Warbucks, for which she won an EMACT DASH award for Best Actress.
