Six-time Tony- and Emmy-nominated actor Tovah Feldshuh returns to the stage in New York City after eight years in the tour-de-force theatrical show, Becoming Dr. Ruth. The one-woman show, written by Mark St. Germain, follows a sold-out run at Bay Street Theater in Sag Harbor this summer and is presented Off-Broadway at Edmond J. Safra Hall at the Museum of Jewish Heritage A Living Memorial to the Holocaust.
The limited-run show begins previews on Saturday, December 4 and opens Thursday, December 16 through Sunday, January 2, 2022, at the Museum of Jewish Heritages newly renovated, state-of-the-art theater in Battery Park City. The Museum is located at 36 Battery Place in Battery Park City.

Directed by Bay Street Theaters Artistic Director Scott Schwartz, Becoming Dr. Ruth chronicles the life of noted psychologist Dr. Ruth Westheimer, from her early years fleeing Nazi Germany, living as an orphan in Switzerland, to her service in the Israeli armed forces as a sharpshooter, and her later life and career in New York.
