BLUEBARN Theatre will present WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME by Heidi Schreck, running September 25 through October 12, 2025.
Directed by Susan Clement and featuring Katie Becker Colón, the acclaimed play returns by popular demand in a new staging at the BLUEBARN Theatre in Omaha.
Schreck’s Tony-nominated play blends personal stories and sharp humor to explore how the U.S. Constitution has shaped—and at times failed—four generations of women in her family. By interrogating belonging, identity, and whose rights are protected, the play challenges audiences to reconsider who truly belongs in America and how the document’s promises can be reimagined for the future.
The cast includes Katie Becker Colón (Heidi), Jon Hickerson (Legionnaire), Anna Conway and Kiley Melean (Debaters). The creative team features Stage Manager Nic Jansen, Scenic Designer Lisa TenHulzen, Lighting and Sound Designer Bill Kirby, Props Designer Amy Reiner, Costume Designer Jocelyn Reed, Debater Designer Denise Ervin, Sound Board Operator Mindy Cotner, Scenic Artist Craig Lee, and Master Carpenter/Electrician Shane Staiger.
