What the Constitution Means to Me
By Heidi Schreck
August 9 – 15, 2026
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 new 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.
8 PERFORMANCES. 14+, SOME STRONG LANGUAGE AND MATURE THEMES. DOCUDRAMA.
