It's the most magical time of the year! No, we don't mean the recent Tony Awards (though we're obsessed with those, too). We mean the Jimmy Awards, the annual showcase of some of the most talented young performers in America. For one night, high schoolers from all across America gather to sing, act, and dance in front of a panel of professional judges.

In Bess Wohl's hit Off-Broadway play Liberation, six women gather in a high school gymnasium in 1970, and they just...talk. About any subject they want: their husbands, their struggles at work, their relationship with their bodies. On the surface, it might not seem compelling, but then one character remarks: "A woman speaking uninterrupted is a radical act." And just like that, Liberation's complex portrait of womanhood comes into focus.
