"We are so proud of our cast and crew for bringing Liberty to life and look forward to resuming performances this fall. As the NY Times said in its review "Liberty evokes an America some are still waiting to for," said Liberty producer Theresa Wozunk.

Based on true events, Liberty is a fast-paced, entertaining 80-minute musical about the arrival of the Statue of Liberty in New York Harbor in 1884. Coming to the United States in the middle of a national immigration debate and a terrible recession, political forces are aligning to deport her. With a strong resolve and a mighty spirit, she battles to gain acceptance and eventually becomes the enduring symbol of our country.
