Following an acclaimed run on Broadway, Liberation, Bess Wohl‘s critically acclaimed Broadway play, will be performed in select major markets as a multi-theater co-production in 2027.
The Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles will present the production from January 27–February 28, 2027. Additional venues that are participating in this co-production and the dates of their productions will be announced soon.
“Liberation continuing its life beyond Broadway is thrilling,” said playwright Bess Wohl. “The chance to connect with new audiences across the country is incredibly exciting—and it’s especially meaningful to share this news during Women’s History Month. The play honors generations before us who fought to create a better, more just world and reminds us that their work is far from finished.”
“It is a great joy that Liberation will be performed in new markets next season,” said director Whitney White. “Liberation provides a glimpse at a very special time in the women’s movement, when daring to ask for more came with great personal risk. The play gives me great courage now, and I hope it will do the same for new audiences across the country.”
Liberation began preview performance at Broadway’s James Earl Jones Theatre on October 8, 2025, opening October 28 and playing through February 1, 2026 for a total of 135 performances. The production recently was named Outstanding Broadway Production at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards.
1970s, Ohio. Lizzie gathers a group of women to talk about changing their lives, and the world. What follows is a necessary, messy, and bitingly funny exploration of what it means to be free, and to be a woman. In Liberation, Lizzie’s daughter steps into her mother’s memory – into the unfinished revolution she once helped ignite – and searches the past to find the answer for herself.
