What the Constitution Means to Me is a hilarious, hopeful, and deeply human exploration of how our nation’s founding document shapes our lives. At fifteen, playwright Heidi Schreck earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the country. Now, she resurrects her teenage self to trace the profound impact of the Constitution on four generations of women in her family. A finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and nominated for two Tony Awards, this critically acclaimed play is as thought-provoking as it is timely, inviting audiences to reflect on the past, present, and future of American democracy.
Critic Sara Holdren writes in New York Magazine that What the Constitution Means to Me is a "...brilliantly crafted show, harrowing and funny and humane, that accesses the political through the deeply personal."
What the Constitution Means to Me explores real-life stories and historical experiences with honesty and intensity. The performance includes strong language and mature themes that may not be suitable for younger audience
