The show will run May 4-21 Thurs.-Mon. Tickets are on sale and can be purchased over the phone, in person, or online.

From Square One Theatre: BECOMING DR. RUTH by Mark St. Germain

Filled with the humor, honesty and life-affirming spirit of Karola Ruth Siegel, the girl who would become America’s most famous sex therapist Dr. Ruth Westheimer. Hailed by The New York Times, "Dr. Ruth's story is certainly a stirring one and this is an illuminating portrait." Most everyone knows Dr. Ruth Westheimer from her career as a pioneering sex therapist. However, very few know her backstory from fleeing the Nazis in the Kindertransport and joining the Hagenah in Jerusalem as a scout and then a sniper, to her struggles to succeed as a single mother coming to America. Featuring Square One Theatre favorite Alice McMahon as Dr. Ruth directed by Tom Holehan.
