What the Constitution Means to me

June 26 - July 6, 2024 in alternating rep

Broadway's most timely new Play

Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the U.S. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. Pulitzer Prize finalist and a Tony Award nominee, Schreck’s timely and boundary-breaking show breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans.

“Endearingly funny and deeply affecting"
- The Washington Post

“Uproariously funny, wrenchingly moving, critically challenging and politically inspiring.”
– The New York Review of Books
