"RUTH and NAOMI in the Fields of Bethlehem" is the third epic musical production, written by the Bible Arts team of Arlene Chertoff, Toby Klein Greenwald and Sharon Katz. Based faithfully on the Scroll of Ruth, the production tells the story of the trials, tragedy and renewal of two heroic women. The music and arrangements for "RUTH" were written by Mitch Clyman.

THE STORY

Famine in the land. Greed and jealousy. Desperation and desertion. Brother against brother. One leader leaves to save his family. The other stays to save his people.

Tragedy strikes the once-prosperous family that has abandoned its people. Two widows in rags, mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, return home to build a new life. They find love, hope, and salvation in the restored fields of Bethlehem.

RUTH

The production of "RUTH and NAOMI" is dramatic, touching, funny and regal. Its conclusion of a destitute outsider finding her proper place among her adopted people is an inspirational tale that will bring pride to every audience member.

"RUTH AND NAOMI…" is currently in production by the Efrat/Gush Etzion Raise Your Spirits Summer Stock Company with a projected performance run, beginning September 2006.
