What the Constitution Means to Me

Description

Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play, What the Constitution Means to Me, is a playful and incisive analysis of gender and racial biases inherent to the U.S. Constitution that examines how this living document could evolve to fit modern America. The piece is based on the experiences of fifteen-year-old Heidi Schreck, who put herself through college by giving speeches about the U.S. Constitution. Now, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the document's profound impact on women's bodies—starting with her great-great-grandmother, a mail-order bride who died under mysterious circumstances.

What the Constitution Means to Me played an extended, sold-out run on Broadway in 2019, and was nominated for two Tony Awards. It had subsequent sold-out runs at the Kennedy Center as well as at the Mark Taper Forum. It was also a Pulitzer Prize Finalist in Drama in 2019. What the Constitution Means to Me was named Best Play of the Year by The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, Time Magazine, The Hollywood Reporter, The New Yorker and more; NPR named it one of the “50 Great Pop Culture Moments” of 2019. A filmed version of What the Constitution Means to Me premiered on Amazon Prime Video, and was nominated for a Critics Choice Award, a PGA Award, and a DGA Award.
