Read full details
This one-woman show by Heidi Schreck is a deeply personal exploration of the U.S. Constitution. Schreck reenacts her teenage self debating the Constitution to earn college money, weaving in stories of her family's experiences with domestic abuse, abortion, and immigration. The performance shifts between her modern perspective and her fifteen-year-old self, creating a powerful commentary on how the Constitution has failed to protect all Americans.
The play features a live debate with a local high school student on whether the Constitution should be abolished, with the audience acting as jury and delivering a verdict. Through sharp wit and emotional storytelling, Schreck challenges the audience to reconsider this founding document. The production has been critically acclaimed, earning a Tony nomination for Best Play and a Pulitzer Prize finalist spot.
