What the Constitution Means to Me

With Friends Tourist For Adults Theater

What’s Happening?

After a wildly successful Broadway run and sold out engagements in Washington, DC, Los Angeles and Chicago, the Tony® nominated Best Play and Pulitzer Prize finalist, What the Constitution Means to Me, by famed writer Heidi Schreck, is coming to the Orpheum Theater!

Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. The tour stars Cassie Beck (I Know What You Did Last Summer, The Humans on Broadway) as ‘Heidi’ and also features original Broadway cast member Mike Iveson joined by high school debaters Jocelyn Shek and Emilyn Toffler.  

Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.  

 Schreck’s timely and galvanizing play, directed by Oliver Butler, became a sensation on Broadway where it received two Tony Award® nominations among countless other accolades, before being captured live for Amazon Prime Video. Get your tickets today to see the play The New York Times hailed as "not just the best play on Broadway, but also the most important.”
