#TonyAwards: Best Play Nominations “The Balusters” “Giant” “Liberation” “Little Bear Ridge Road” variety.com/2026/legit/awa…

Major congratulations to Bess Wohl for winning the 2026 Pulitzer Prize in Drama for her play Liberation! ✨ We are thrilled to have this provocative, funny and moving work in our catalog. From the @pulitzerprizes citation: “A striking blend of comedy and sincerity that explores the legacy of the consciousness-raising feminist groups of the 1970s, using the story of the playwright’s mother to demonstrate how the movement grew out of conversation, and that anyone experiencing the play has joined the discussion.” Learn more at concordsho.ws/Liberation.
