What the Constitution Means to Me

By Heidi Schreck
Directed by Kaytlin McIntyre
March 17 – July 31, 2027 Thomas Theatre

Not your grandma’s history (until it is)

When playwright Heidi Schreck was 15 years old, she loved the U.S. Constitution—so much that she traveled the country, competing in Constitutional oratorical contests to earn money for college. But when she unearths secrets about her own family history, she also discovers that this critical founding document can both protect and betray us—and she questions how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Part stand-up comedy and part hard-hitting investigation, Constitution, directed by OSF Associate Artistic Director Kaytlin McIntyre in her OSF directorial debut, is a deeply personal journey that’s hilarious, moving, and profoundly human. Sure to spark conversation, Constitution explores the questions that “We the People” should be asking.

What the Constitution Means to Me is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. www.concordtheatricals.com

Suitability Suggestions
Schreck’s dynamic play invites the audience to rediscover the words of the U.S. Constitution and grapple with its meaning in the 21st century. This personal and political exploration talks about abortion, sexual assault, domestic violence, and human trafficking. The play also contains strong profanity. Recommended for mature students able to handle the content. Preface recommended.
