Ruth: A Musical Drama

For one night only, the beautiful musical drama Ruth will be presented by acclaimed performing company Arcady Ensemble at St. James United Church in Simcoe, ON. Ruth is a moving story of immigration and welcoming newcomers into one’s homeland. The drama follows the life of Ruth, an independent, strong, and hopeful woman as she searches for a better life for herself and her people. Written in 1996 with words by librettist Roger Bayley and music by Simcoe native Ronald Beckett, Ruth has been performed by Arcady and other ensembles in Canada and the US over the past 30 years.

This special production will feature a cast of past and present Arcady Emerging Artists headed by Cristina Pisani as Ruth, Laurence Williams as Boaz, Anjelique Croteau as Naomi, and Sophia Korz as Orpah. This outstanding cast will be supported by Arcady’s professional chorus, orchestra, dancers, and youth chorus with the composer himself, Ronald Beckett, leading the company as musical director.

Arcady looks forward to bringing Ruth once more to Southern Ontario audiences!
