The Broadway Smash Hit Now on Tour!

After being nominated for the Best Play award at the 2019 Tony's, Heidi Schreck's critically acclaimed drama hits the road on its first national tour! Wowing critics and audiences alike for its discussion on the USA's most important document, What The Constitution Means To Me was nominated for two Tony Awards, two Drama Desk awards and two Drama League Awards in 2019, marking it as one of the most scintillating productions of the year!

Weaving together political and personal histories to show how women's rights have shifted over the course of four generations What The Constitution Means To Me transferred to Broadway in the March of 2019, where it was named the play of the year by both the New Yorker and the New York Magazine. This brand new tour will feature a brand new set of cast members with Oliver Butler returning to direct. 

WHAT IS CONSTITUTION ABOUT?

Having paid for college tuition through winning constitutional debates as a teenager, Obie-winner Heidi Schreck knows a thing or two about America's founding document. Here she brings her teenage self to the stage, alongside other women from her family tree, creating a lively and funny conversation about rights granted and rights withheld.

I had an opportunity to really learn What the Constitution Means to Me. It was truly a learning experience.

It was written for a different time. Today’s United States is not what yesterday’s United States was. I believe young and old will benefit from seeing this play. I am 81 years old. I will read the Constitution and I will then be able to understand and intelligently comment on what I think should be revised, deleted and possibly added. The United States in 2024 is nothing like the United States in 1787. It’s time for change. ... Read more
