Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking What the Constitution Means to Me breathes new life into the U.S. Constitution through a hilarious, hopeful, and deeply human exploration of how its promises and contradictions shape generations of Americans. Drawing on her experience as a 15-year-old who won constitutional debate competitions to earn college tuition, Schreck resurrects her teenage self to explore the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives. Premiering Off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop in 2018 and moving to Broadway in 2019, the acclaimed production extended twice and broke box-office records before a record-breaking limited engagement at Washington, D.C.’s Kennedy Center.
