  3. Becoming Dr. Ruth


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

It seems fitting, in many ways, to return to live theater with such an incredible and incredibly well told story of optimism, humor, and resilience. Theater J’s season opener is a beautiful, thoughtful biography of a woman who can remind us of the value of intimate, loving relationships and how to keep going through moments of adversity – reminders we can all certainly benefit from right now.
