The triumphant true story of America’s Favorite Sex Therapist! Dr. Ruth K. Westheimer changed the way we talk about sex and relationships with her hit ’80s radio call-in show, Sexually Speaking. Now, she welcomes us into her home to share the unlikely path she took to becoming “Dr. Ruth.” With her trademark wry humor, warmth, and candor, Dr. Ruth recounts her life’s many roles: a child escaping Nazi Germany on the Kindertransport; an Israeli sharpshooter in the 1940s; a single mother in America; and finally, the global celebrity sought out by presidents. This life-affirming solo show is a testament to resilience, forging your own path, and the joy of human connection.

Free screening of Been Here Stay Here on Tangier Island

On Saturday, May 10th, the filmmakers will host two free public screenings—5:00pm and 7:30pm—on Tangier Island, honoring the people who trusted them with their stories. But to make it happen, they’re calling on the wider community for support.

For those of us who live around the Bay, Tangier is a name we all know. But this film lets us feel it. Told with quiet observation and deep care, Been Here Stay Here offers a rarely seen intimacy—inviting viewers into the daily lives, struggles, and enduring spirit of the islanders we’ve heard about for years but may have never truly met.

At a time when our divisions grow deeper, this is a story that brings us closer—to each other, to this place, and to what it means to hold on to home.

This event is part of a larger impact campaign designed to build awareness around the complex environmental and cultural issues facing Tangier and the wider Chesapeake region. Proceeds from the fundraiser will support the production costs of the screening and help launch the next phase of the campaign.

We invite local press across Virginia, Maryland, and the Chesapeake Bay to cover this homecoming event—and help share a story that belongs to all of us.

A fundraiser is now live to raise $10,000 to transform the Tangier Island Rec Center into a one-night pop-up theater—complete with a 20-foot screen, professional sound, and theater-grade projection. All funds will go directly toward producing the event and making the screening free and accessible to all islanders.
