What the Constitution Means to Me
January 29-30, 2024
By Heidi Schreck
Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
This show is intended for audiences 14+. It contains strong language, mature themes, and references to physical & sexual violence and abortion.
