In the 2019 Pulitzer Prize finalist, What the Constitution Means to Me, Heidi Schreck takes a fresh, funny, and deeply personal look at the U.S. Constitution and the ways it has shaped—and sometimes challenged—our lives. Inspired by her teenage years as a debate champion, she revisits her youthful optimism and examines how her understanding of this document has evolved over time. Blending humor, history, and heartfelt storytelling, the play offers a lively and thought-provoking exploration of rights, citizenship, and the ever-changing American dream. Smart, surprising, and full of humanity, What the Constitution Means to Me makes history feel personal in the most entertaining way

The Board of Directors works strategically with the staff to ensure Hillbarn Theatre is the best that it can possibly be. This has been accomplished under the capable leadership of the current chair, Lisa WolfKlain, the former chair, Paul Regan, Gary Harris, and several others in the past. Hillbarn is the sixth oldest continuously operating amateur theater company in the nation and is the oldest company in San Mateo County. Since 1995, Hillbarn has won a Theater Critics Circle Award, was accepted at the Edinburgh Theatre Festival, was honored with several mayoral proclamations for excellence in theatrical production and education, three Dean Goodman Awards for Artistic Excellence, and a Foster City Honors Award for the Executive Director in 2003. In an interview, former Artistic Director Scott Williams said: “Hillbarn is an idea. Hillbarn began as a vision of Bob and Sam, essentially, and it has stayed coalesced around their vision. People who came here understood they had the vision, and it was an extraordinary one…They created a good feeling, a great viable organization, and they had a marvelous ability to bring people into the process.” Hillbarn is more than just a place, it’s a community that will remain forever a legacy to their memories and a benefit to the cultural life of not only the citizens of Foster City, but all who share in its community ideals.
