What the Constitution Means to Me
Presented by OKC Rep in partnership with Oklahoma Contemporary
April 3-13, 2025
In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human show, Heidi resurrected her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that changed their lives. Nominated for two Tony Awards and a Pulitzer Prize finalist, Schreck’s boundary-breaking show breathed new life into our Constitution and explored how the document will shape the next generation of Americans.
This show was recommended for ages 14 and older.
