Liberation
March 2 – 20, 2027 · Tuesdays–Saturdays at 7:30pm
Red Barn Theatre, 319 Duval Street (rear)
The Red Barn stages Bess Wohl’s Liberation, winner of the 2026 Pulitzer Prize for Drama and Best Play at the 2026 Tony Awards. Developed by Roundabout Theatre Company, it premiered off-Broadway in February 2025 and transferred to Broadway that October, running through February 2026.
It’s a memory play set in two times at once. In 1970, in the basement of an Ohio rec center, a woman named Lizzie gathers a small group of women to talk. Fifty years later her daughter looks back, trying to understand who her mother was before she became her mother. The daughter narrates directly to the audience, moving the play between past and present.
The Pulitzer board cited the play for exploring how the women’s movement grew out of conversation. Wohl’s other work includes Grand Horizons, Small Mouth Sounds, and Camp Siegf
ried.
The Red Barn production is directed by Joy Hawkins and features Morgan Fraga Pierson, Lauren Thompson, Cassidy Timms, Fritzie Estimond, Jessica Miano Kruel, Ivy Munnerlyn, Shannon Edwards, and Jack McDonald.
