“Wonderfully captures the energy, spirit and 

joy of life…”

“Touching with sprinklings of humor”  

– The Sarasota Herald-Tribune   

 
“Warm-hearted, humanist play”
“Her positive attitude is a battle cry against life’s enemies “
– The Observer

Becoming Dr. Ruth by Mark St. Germain is Now Playing in the Keating Theatre. There’s still time to subscribe FST’s Summer Mainstage season and see three shows for as little as $39!  

 

Dr. Ruth Westheimer revisits her fascinating life after the death of her third husband. From her time as a young child in a Swiss orphanage to her time working as a celebrity sex therapist, Dr. Ruth approaches the chapters of her life with a charming sense of humor. A moving, funny portrayal of one woman’s determination to survive, thrive and keep learning.

 

Following Becoming Dr. Ruth is the U.S. premier of Taking Shakespeareby John Murrell, playing in the Gompertz July 23 through August 17. This is a summer season filled with great stories, great music, and great moments.

Now in its final week in the Court Cabaret is At The Hop by The Alley Cats! They are America’s Premiere Doo-Wop group, performing songs of the 50s and 60s. This dynamic a cappella group entertains with a spontaneous humor and refreshing contemporary style of song. Celebrating their 25th anniversary, The Alley Cats are a perfect blend of musical talent and comic timing. Featuring songs such as “Life Could Be a Dream,” “Rock ‘N’ Roll Is Here To Stay,” and “Duke Of Earl.”
