Becoming Dr. Ruth

ART Station
5384 Manor Dr. Stone Mountain, GA 30083

Everyone knows Dr. Ruth Westheimer from her career as a pioneering and straight-talking radio and TV sex therapist. But few know the truly incredible journey that preceded it. Becoming Dr. Ruth: An Unexpected Journey sheds light on the 4-foot-7 therapist's early life, which was anything but short on adversity. With warmth and humor, Atlanta actress Judy Leavell tells Dr. Ruth Westheimer's story -- from escaping the Nazis to serving in the Haganah in Jerusalem as a scout and sniper to her struggles as a single mother in America who went on to earn her doctorate. This revealing one-woman performance comes to ART Station in Stone Mountain.
