Playwright Heidi Schreck skillfully breathes new life into the Constitution through her innovative play, projecting its influence on future American generations. As a teenager, Heidi funded her college education by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the country. In this clever, hopeful, and profoundly personal new production, she resurrects her teenage self to delve into the very deep ties between four generations of women and the pivotal document that shaped their lives.

Dave Landis returns as director for the Regional Premier of What the Constitution Means to Me, starring Kim Justis Eikner (Book of Will) and Michael Gravios (The Lehman Trilogy).
