What The Constitution Means To Me
November 1 – December 10, 2023
By Heidi Schreck
Directed by Jennifer Childs
Arcadia Stage
Honorary Producers: Nancy and Bob Elfant
Expected Runtime: 100 minutes with no intermission
Fifteen-year-old Heidi Schreck earned her college tuition and developed a deep love of the Constitution by winning debate competitions around the country. In this hopeful, heartfelt, and endearingly funny play, Schreck reimagines how this living document affected her past and how it will shape the next generations of Americans. What the Constitution Means to Me will be one of the most produced plays in the country next year, but the Arden’s production will be the only one performed blocks away from where the document was written!
