Liberation Tickets

Get Liberation tickets and experience a world premiere from Tony Award nominee Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons). Another Tony nominee, Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding), directs this provocative and illuminating new work, which is a recipient of an Edgerton Foundation New Play Award. Liberation tickets will be available on New York Theatre Guide soon.

Experience Liberation off Broadway at the Laura Pels Theatre, a state-of-the-art venue within the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. The new play traces the events of two time periods. In 1970, six women, all strangers to each other, gathered at their local community center. In its basement gym, these women wanted to shake up their lives — and the world around them. In the near-present, half a century later, their daughters all come together, sharing one question: what the hell happened?

An electric play about the open conversations these women shared behind closed doors, Liberation comes to Roundabout Theatre Company this winter for a limited run. Award-winning playwright Wohl is known for her pointed but moving works, which are often sly and reveal more than meets the eye. Such plays have made her a popular fixture of off Broadway over the past decade. A Drama Desk Award and Lortel Award nominee for the musical Pretty Filthy, she has also written Grand Horizons, Small Mouth Sounds, Make Believe, and Camp Siegfried.

White is also an accomplished New York artist, earning an Obie Award and directing the groundbreaking What to Send Up When it Goes Down along with productions at The Public Theater, Steppenwolf, and other esteemed theatres. Now, these two women pair up to tell a singular story about sisterhood found in unexpected places over the decades, and the sturdy legacies we attempt to build. Tickets to Liberation will be on sale soon with New York Theatre Guide.
