“Becoming Dr. Ruth” is a charming tour de-force written by Mark St. German and starring Alice Springer as iconic sex therapist radio personality Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer. To a multitude of radio and television admirers she became known simply as “Dr Ruth,” and her diminutive stature and thick, European blend of an accent made her an instant media caricature of herself, often imitated by many throughout her years of peak popularity. However, in this intimate one woman show, Springer tries less to imitate the personality and instead tries more to relate to the audience St.
Germain’s study of the doctor’s life and her unusual meteoric rise to fame.
