“What the Constitution Means to Me” at Phoenix Theatre Company
Experience the powerful and provocative play, “What the Constitution Means to Me,” at The Phoenix Theatre Company. This soul-stirring performance brilliantly examines America’s most fundamental document through the lens of personal and national identity.
Heidi Schreck, who funded her college education by winning Constitutional debates, revisits her past in this part-autobiographical play. Now, she reflects on the Constitution’s impact on her life, her female relatives, and other marginalized groups.
The play hilariously yet earnestly tackles the Constitution’s contradictions, beauty, and failures. It examines how gender and racial biases are woven into the fabric of American society and explores how these biases shape personal and collective experience. Schreck’s narrative is a fiercely urgent call to reexamine and challenge the foundational definitions of law in America.
“What the Constitution Means to Me” is more than a play. It’s a civic lesson with a deeply personal narrative. It optimistically proposes how this living document could and should evolve to meet the needs of modern America, engaging audiences in a meaningful dialogue about our rights and responsibilities.

Whether you’re a history buff, a legal enthusiast, or simply looking for a thought-provoking night out, this play will engage and inspire. It promises to entertain and challenge perceptions.
