By: Walter McBride Oct. 30, 2013
The New York premiere of Becoming Dr. Ruth, a warmhearted, candid and inspiring comedy starringDebra Jo Rupp, ("That 70's Show") written by Mark St. Germain and directed by Julianne Boyd opened off-Broadway last night, October 29. BroadwayWorld was there for the special night and you can check out photos from the opening night theatre arrivals below!
Following the world premiere at Barrington Stage Company and a sold out run at TheaterWorks, Hartford, the play began previews October 11 at The Westside Theatre, Upstairs (407 West 43rd Street, New York, NY 10036). This is a limited engagement production through January 12th, 2014.
Everyone knows Dr. Ruth K. 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", America's most famous sex therapist.
