Pioneer Productions’ Artistic Director, Dan Vissers, directs Schreck’s boundary-breaking play that breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States.
WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME won the Obie Award for Best New American Play and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best American Play. The play was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The performance will feature veteran Pioneer performer Miriam Salerno in the role of Heidi. Previous Pioneer roles for Salerno include Sugar in Tiny Beautiful Things, Bella in Lost in Yonkers, Annette in God of Carnage, and Beth in Dinner with Friends. The cast also includes Ben Weisman as Legionnaire and Ashlee Vissers as the Debater.
Don’t miss your chance to experience the play that The New York Times called “an act of civic engagement.”
Content Advisory: What the Constitution Means to Me contains mentions of domestic violence, sexual assault, and discussions of abortion. Recommended for audiences 14+.
