Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me has been on Broadway floor since March 2019 and was extended twice before the final show date was confirmed. The show has been commended critically as well as by the audience during its successful run. What the Constitution Means to Me racked up Tony nominations on the back of its impressive writing and performance. The play has also received nominations for two Drama League Awards, two Drama Desks, an Outer Critics Circle Award, a Lucille Lortel Award, and the 2019 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. What the Constitution Means to Me was also one of the finalists for the 2019 Pulitzer prize. The show was directed by Obie Award-winner Oliver Butler, who has worked with Heidi Schreck's writing' to bring out wonderful performances from Mike Iveson, Rosdely Ciprian, and Thursday Williams in addition to Schreck herself.
In the days of instant gratification, we tend to forget that Broadway is more than a stage meant to provide entertainment. It is, first and foremost, an American cultural space that celebrates talent, enthusiasm, and expression. Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me takes the audience back to the basics of Broadway. The writer and performer Heidi Schreck looks back at her days as a teenager in the play. This was the time when she explored the founding document of America and learned how it impacted the generations of women to be born in the country afterward. Through the series of reenacted speeches, we get to see a very personal, yet inclusive evaluation of the constitution. Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me closed at the Hayes Theatre on August 24, 2019, post which it will be showcased in Washington D.C. followed by a national tour.
