  3. What the Constitution Means to Me


Get ready to throw out everything you thought you knew about the constitution! What the Constitution Means to Me isn't your dusty civics class lecture—it's a razor-sharp, hilarious, and poignant journey through our country's most important single document, told through one woman's extraordinary personal lens. Playwright Heidi Schreck transforms a potentially dry topic into a boundary-breaking exploration of women's experiences, family history, and the living, breathing text that shapes our nation.

Part memoir, part high-stakes debate, this show follows Schreck's teenage self competing in Constitutional speech contests—but quickly evolves into a profound, witty examination of how the Constitution has impacted generations of women. Expect laugh-out-loud moments mixed with powerful revelations about patriarchy, resilience, and the unexpected ways law intersects with personal lives.

This isn't just a play—it's a vibrant, unpredictable conversation about who we are and who we might become. Come witness theater that's as dynamic and complex as the Constitution itself!
