Happily Divorced

Ruth’s story is one of resilience, self love, and of course, humor. She captures this story beautifully in Happily Divorced. I felt like I was on the journey alongside her the whole show, which is due to Ruth’s powerful writing and performance. She connects various stages of her life with emotion and wit, and shares all the wisdom she collects along the way. More than anything, Happily Divorced is a brave testament of a woman’s journey back to herself, and the happiness and fulfillment that come with it. ... full review

Ruth is an incredible story teller and solo artist… between her incredible comedy chops and being completely vulnerable—this was what made this show a top notch solo show at the fringe! See it! You don’t have to be divorced lol you will love it no matter what your marital status! ... full review

Funny, sad, but leaves you feeling inspired! Ruth shares deeply personal stories with wit and drama. She masterfully used her perspective to look back and see patterns in her marriage, her parents marriage and her own identity as a wife, mother and person with her own hopes and dreams.... full review

Really enjoyed Happily Divorced! It was a perfect example of a lean, mean one woman machine. It's raw without being too self involved, and had a great balance of seriousness and levity. ... full review
