What the Constitution Means to Me
by Heidi Schreck
April 4 - April 21, 2024
Directed by Jen Uphoff Gray
Featuring Colleen Madden
As a teen, Heidi Schreck won scholarships for college by participating in Constitutional debate competitions. Now, she cannot help but weigh the earnest study, idealism and hopeful wisdom of her youth against the complexities of being a citizen and a woman in the United States in the 21st century. Join Wisconsin favorite Colleen Madden as she steps into Heidi’s shoes to ask us what this living document means to us— and what it means to be an American.
“It’s also an instance of theatrical activism at its purest, modeling the world the play hopes to achieve…in which all stakeholders, not just powerful ones, are invited to the podium.”
– The New York Times
