Karola Ruth Siegel is more than just “Dr. Ruth.” Everyone knows Dr. Ruth Westheimer from her career as a pioneering radio and television sex therapist. Few know her incredible journey that began with her fleeing the Nazis in the Kindertransport; joining the Haganah in Jerusalem as a scout and sniper; and struggling to succeed as a single mother coming to America. Becoming Dr. Ruth shows us — with honesty and humor — all the ways Ruth Westheimer is an inspiration to us all. Starring Wendy Westwelle as Dr. Ruth, triangle productions! is pleased to be presenting the Oregon premiere of this wonderful one woman show. Written by Martin St Germain Directed by Donald Horn

BWW Review: BECOMING DR. RUTH: Rising From The Ashes to Washington Heights

May 01, 2019

New Repertory Theatre presents BECOMING DR. RUTH, Mark St. Germain's (FREUD'S LAST SESSION) biographical comedy that tells you everything you didn't even know you wanted to know about Dr. Ruth, but were glad the playwright asked. Set in her Washington Heights, NY, apartment with a panoramic view overlooking the Hudson River, the play introduces us to the 69-year old Westheimer in the throes of moving after thirty years in the location. Surrounded by an array of boxes and clutter, the conceit provides a plethora of talking points as she unearths items that serve as important markers in her life story. Anne O'Sullivan reaches through the fourth wall to grab our attention with warmth and Ruth's indomitable joie de vivre.
