After an acclaimed run Off-Broadway earlier this year, it was announced today that Liberation will open on Broadway this fall.
Winner of the Outer Critics Circle Award for Outstanding New Off-Broadway Play, Liberation, written by Bess Wohl and directed by Whitney White, will open on October 28, 2025, with previews beginning on October 8, 2025, at the James Earl Jones Theatre. It will run for a limited engagement of 14 weeks only.
Liberation is a funny, time-bending, and deeply moving new play that brings to life a group of women in 1970s Ohio who gather in the basement of the local Y for a weekly consciousness-raising group—as they find their place in a new wave of feminism taking hold around them. While their candid conversations unfold with humor, heart, and vulnerability, the play explores how everyday moments spark lasting change. Interwoven with a present-day narrator discovering her mother’s radical past before marriage and motherhood, Liberation becomes a heartfelt exploration of memory, identity, and the enduring power of women speaking their truths.
Additional casting and creative team will be announced soon.
