Heidi Schreck’s multiple award-winning play, WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME, is at once hilarious, touching, inspiring and thought-provoking. The playwright takes us back to her teenage years when she traveled the country giving speeches about the Constitution at American Legion halls to help her pay for college. Using her very personal journey, along with the stories of her mother and grandmother, she dissects the document penned by our “founding fathers” over 200 years ago. Act two forefronts a live debate as Heidi takes on a high school student:
Tonight’s debate topic: Should we abolish the United State Constitution?
