LIBERATION

About the show

It’s 1970 in Ohio; feminism is promising change and journalist Lizzie wants in. Soon she’s meeting weekly with five other women, all learning to tell the truth about their lives, and beginning to show up for each other and for the future they have started to imagine. Fifty years later, Lizzie’s daughter stares down the same questions her mother did and turns to the past to untangle how change stalled out. A messy and audacious look at solidarity, sacrifice, and the unfinished political work of the 1970s. Tony Award nominees Bess Wohl (Grand Horizons) and director Whitney White (Jaja’s African Hair Braiding) bring Liberation to Studio’s intimate Victor Shargai Theatre. Winner of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
