Life According to Morty and Ruth @ The Sandy Plaza
Feb 14 @ 7:30 pm
Presented by Triangle Productiions

Ruth is late, well she always seems to be late, but tonight the show has started and she’s rushing into the theatre just as the show as begun. Morty has been left to find parking and he too will be entering the theatre late.

Ruth can’t find her seat, she apologetically interrupts the actor on stage, and then within minutes takes over the show. Just as she gets going, Morty enters looking for his seat and find Ruth on stage. How will tonight end? Through jokes from the Borscht Belt comics such as Mel Brooks, Joan Rivers, Sophie Tucker, Mae West, Totie Fields Buddy Hackett and many others, Morty and Ruth are about to tell you all about LIFE.
