Take a first look at Philadelphia Theatre Company’s production of Bess Wohl’s Tony Award- and Pulitzer Prize-winning Liberation, on stage October 9–25 only at the Suzanne Roberts Theatre.⁠
⁠
It’s 1970, and six women gather in a basement to talk about changing their lives—and the world. Fifty years later, one of their daughters returns to their story, asking what changed, what didn’t, and what liberation means now.⁠
⁠
Funny, theatrical, deeply human, and startlingly relevant, Liberation arrives at PTC fresh from its acclaimed Broadway run.⁠
⁠
ONLY 15 PERFORMANCES LEFT TO SEE IT IN PHILADELPHIA⁠

Liberation peformances start this Friday!

Can we ever really know our mothers, especially our mothers before and outside of ourselves?

That’s the question of the new play, “Liberation,” as a woman connects to who her mother once was, as a young radical in the women’s movement in the 70s.

The Broadway debut just won a Tony and a Pulitzer. And, in a coup, Philly is one of just 11 cities nationwide to get to stage it first.

“I think that’s such a beautiful, provocative question: What was my mother’s life like before me?” says Taibi Magar, the director of the play.

“Liberation” is a quiet spectacle.

Looking back to move forward. ✨

The cast and creative team of Liberation recently stepped outside the rehearsal room for a special visit to the Historical Society of Pennsylvania, where they explored archival materials documenting the Women’s Liberation Movement of the 1970s—the history and conversations at the heart of Bess Wohl’s Liberation.

Our sincere thanks to HSP for opening its archives to our artists and creating an opportunity to connect the past with the stories we’re bringing to the stage.

And the conversation continues on Saturday, October 17 with Leaders Who Lunch. 🥂

Join us before the 2 PM performance of Liberation for mimosas, brunch, and a candid conversation about leadership, legacy, and the changing landscape of American theatre with Sara Garonzik, Taibi Magar, and Amina Robinson, and moderated by Rev Dr. Lorina Marshall Blake.

Your participation supports PTC’s work onstage, in classrooms, and throughout our community.

Pull up a chair and be part of the conversation.
