What The Constitution Means to Me

Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play 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. Revisiting that experience, Heidi takes us through our nation’s highs and lows and ultimately delivers a hopeful message: “We all belong in the preamble.” This hilarious, hopeful and achingly human play culminates in a live debate to be judged by the audience: should we keep our centuries-old constitution, or start fresh?
