Becoming Dr. Ruth at The Phoenix Theatre Company

Everyone knows Dr. Ruth Westheimer as Americas most famous sex therapist. Few know her incredible journey to get there. Becoming Dr. Ruth is filled with the humor, honesty, and life-affirming spirit of Karola Ruth Siegel, the girl who fled the Nazis in the Kindertransport, joined the Haganah in Jerusalem as a sniper, struggled as a single mother newly-arrived in America and eventually became Dr. Ruth, Americas Sex Therapist. A triumphant and heartwarming story of a woman who found her own unique place in the world.
