Life According to Morty and Ruth @ The Sandy Plaza
Feb 15 @ 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.

By most indications, modern society is a model of moral progress. Yet when it comes to everyday values, we still grapple with the big ones…

   – What are our responsibilities toward the less fortunate?
– How do we fashion a more moral and equal society?
– How can we make a move toward more cohesive family living?

Join us to unpack six of the world’s most cherished values and how they were delivered to humankind by the Torah. By tracing their fascinating journey to the mainstream, we’ll discover a timeless core of purpose, integrity, and clarity in each value—a powerful gift of guidance as we navigate our own daily choices.
