\n\tEXCLUSIVE: Liberation<\/a>, Bess Wohl<\/a>\u2018s critically acclaimed Broadway<\/a> play, will be performed in select major markets as a multi-theater co-production in 2027, including at the Geffen Playhouse<\/a> in Los Angeles in January.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Geffen staging will run from January 27, 2027, through February 28, 2027. Additional venues and participating in the co-production, performance dates and casting will be announced at a later date.<\/p>\n

\n\tIn a statement, Wohl said, \u201cLiberation continuing its life beyond Broadway is thrilling. The chance to connect with new audiences across the country is incredibly exciting \u2013 and it\u2019s especially meaningful to share this news during Women\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tSaid director Whitney White, \u201cIt is a great joy that Liberation will be performed in new markets next season. Liberation provides a glimpse at a very special time in the women\u2019s 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tLiberation began preview performance at Broadway\u2019s James Earl Jones Theatre on October 8, 2025, opening October 28 and playing through February 1, 2026. The production recently was named Outstanding Broadway Production at the 37th Annual GLAAD Media Awards, and is a likely shoo-in for Tony Award nominations.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Geffen Playhouse is announcing its staging today; Deadline is breaking the news about plans for additional productions.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe play topped Deadline\u2019s 10 Best Broadway Shows<\/a> of 2025.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe synopsis: \u201c1970s, 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\u2019s daughter steps into her mother\u2019s memory \u2013 into the unfinished revolution she once helped ignite \u2013 and searches the past to find the answer for herself.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Broadway and, prior to that, the Off Broadway production starred Betsy Aidem, Audrey Corsa, Kayla Davion, Susannah Flood, Kristolyn Lloyd, Irene Sofia Lucio, Charlie Thurston and Adina Verson.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"EXCLUSIVE: Liberation, Bess Wohl\u2018s critically acclaimed Broadway play, will be performed in select major markets as a multi-theater…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":223704,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[27],"tags":[102019,8513,15007,48,52,51,102020,47,50,49],"class_list":["post-223703","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-los-angeles","tag-bess-wohl","tag-broadway","tag-geffen-playhouse","tag-la","tag-la-headlines","tag-la-news","tag-liberation","tag-los-angeles","tag-los-angeles-headlines","tag-los-angeles-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223703","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=223703"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/223703\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/223704"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=223703"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=223703"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=223703"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
