Bess Wohl’s award-winning play Liberation opened at the James Earl Jones Theatre on October 28, under the direction of Whitney White.

Understudies are Britt Faulkner, LeeAnne Hutchison, Matthew Russell, and Kedren Spencer.

Liberation is about a group of women in 1970s Ohio who gather for a weekly consciousness-raising group, interwoven with a present-day narrator discovering her mother’s radical past before marriage and motherhood.
