BECOMING DR. RUTH by Mark St. Germain at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park - featuring Anne O’Sullivan as Dr. Ruth K. Westhheimer.
Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer highly recommends BECOMING DR. RUTH at Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park!
“(Dr Ruth) arms Mr. St. Germain, and Anne O’Sullivan, the actress who plays her in Stephen Nachamie’s well-directed production, with a surprising, eventful biography, a distinctive sound, a penchant for humor and an animated personality... In the end, the play morphs into a moving meditation on the meaning of home, not sex.”
