San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre is proud to announce the upcoming production of What the Constitution Means to Me, a poignant and thought-provoking play by Heidi Schreck. This timely and captivating show will grace the stage of the San Luis Obispo Repertory Theatre from March 29th to April 14th, 2024.
Hilarious, hopeful, and incredibly honest, this Tony and Pulitzer nominated play exposes baked-in biases and omissions, while also breathing new life into our Constitution, and imagining how American lives will be impacted for generations to come.
What the Constitution Means to Me has garnered critical acclaim for its insightful exploration of democracy, gender, and the promise of the United States Constitution. The play follows Heidi Schreck’s own journey as she revisits her teenage years, when she earned her college tuition by competing in Constitutional debate competitions. Through a blend of personal narrative, historical anecdotes, and incisive commentary, Schreck delves into the complexities of American identity and the evolving meaning of our nation’s foundational document.
“We are thrilled to bring What the Constitution Means to Me to our stage,” says Managing Artistic Director, Kevin Harris. “This play not only offers a compelling theatrical experience but also invites audiences to engage in important conversations about our rights, responsibilities, and the enduring relevance of the Constitution in our lives today.”
Directed by Kevin Harris, and featuring local favorite Suzy Newman, this production promises to captivate audiences with its raw emotion, humor, and intellectual depth.
As the nation grapples with pressing questions about democracy, equality, and justice, What the Constitution Means to Me serves as a timely reminder of the power of civic engagement and the importance of understanding our shared history.
