What the Constitution Means to Me

By Heidi Schreck

When History goes Awry!

Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between a gathering of four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. Nominated for two Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Schreck’s boundary-breaking show breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans.

Quote: “Uproariously funny, wrenchingly moving, critically challenging and politically inspiring.” – David Cole, The New York Review of Books

Buzz Words: Inspiring | Galvanizing | Empowering

Glitter Moments:  Patriotism with a side of sass, Debating for Dummies (with heart) and Laughter as a Civic Superpower

Content Information: This production contains equal parts humor and heart, with lively debates about the U.S. Constitution, women’s rights, and some hard-hitting truths about our legal system. Expect a mix of personal stories, emotional depth, and sharp wit that may leave you laughing one moment and questioning everything the next. Viewer discretion is advised for those who prefer their civic lessons without sass or soul.
