About The Event

Playwright Heidi Schreck's boundary-breaking comedy 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.

Schreck's timely and galvanizing play became a sensation off-Broadway before transferring to Broadway where it received two Tony Award nominations and was a Pulitzer finalist, among countless other accolades.

"Not just the best play to open on Broadway so far this season, but also the most important." -The New York Times

“Most incredibly of all, the show offers evidence that there are still reasons to have faith in the future of America.” -The New Yorker
