This boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will affect the next generation of Americans. The Tony Award-nominated Pulitzer Prize finalist What the Constitution Means to Me will return to Chicago this fall starring Cassie Beck (I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Humans on Broadway) as ‘Heidi’.
Fifteen year old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
Schreck’s timely and galvanizing play, directed by Oliver Butler, became a sensation off-Broadway last fall before transferring to Broadway where it received two Tony Award nominations among countless other accolades. See the play The New York Times hails as “not just the best play on Broadway, but also the most important.”
