About the Show

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.

“The best play I’ve seen this season.” – Sara Holdren, New York Magazine

 Tony Award® nominees Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding) present a refreshingly irreverent and intensely relevant powerhouse of a play about what we inherit, what we forget, and what we’re still fighting to understand.

*LIBERATION has mature themes and nudity – parental/guardian guidance is recommended to consider what is suitable.

About the Theatre

James Earl Jones Theatre

138 W 48th St
New York, NY 10036

The Cort Theatre was built as a venue for producer John Cort’s productions in the early 1900’s.  Peg o’ My Heart was its premiere performance in 1912.

The Shubert Organization eventually took ownership of the venue and had it completely restored. The theater was renamed in honor of James Earl Jones in 2022.
