Pearl Buchanan Theatre

Presented by Voices Amplified with support from Kentucky Foundation for Women and in collaboration with Appalachian Shakespeare Center at EKU .

 

Filled with humor and history, the 2019 Tony Award nominee and winner of New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award, What The Constitution Means To Me is playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play that breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans.

 

As a 15-year-old, Heidi Schreck won debate competitions defending the Constitution across the country. As an adult, she resurrects her teenage self to investigate its profound effect on four generations of women in her family. This exhilarating show culminates in a live debate with an actual teen, allowing audiences to weigh in on the Constitution's impact on our daily lives.

 

What The Constitution Means To Me is directed by Laurie Genet Preston and features Vanessa Becker Weig as Heidi with Patrick Lee Lucas as Mike/Legionnaire and Cricket Brown as the Debator.

 

“Superb … a highly entertaining, deeply informative, and ultimately hopeful examination of the document that impacts every single one of us, every single day of our lives.” –Chicago Sun Times

 

DISCLAIMER: What the Constitution Means to Me features personal stories and experiences which are intertwined with broader political themes. These themes include gender-based domestic violence, reproductive rights, and systemic inequalities. It is recommended for ages 12 and up.
