The University of Scranton Players Present: 'What the Constitution Means to Me'

The University of Scranton Players will present the 2019 Tony-nominated Best Play and Pulitzer Prize finalist, "What the Constitution Means to Me," by Heidi Schreck. Directed by guest artist Sam Morales '11 and co-produced with The University of Scranton Political Science Department, the production will run Thursday, Sept.19 - Sunday, Sept. 22. The show will take place Thursday through Saturday at 8 p.m., and Sunday at 2 p.m. All performances will be hosted in the Studio Theatre at the McDade Center for the Literary and Performing Arts on The University of Scranton campus.

Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into the United States Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Heidi, a 15-year-old character based on and originally performed by Schreck, earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human play, she resurrects her teenage self to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.

The company of "What the Constitution Means to Me," features: Gabriella Palmer of Phoenixville, Marcus Smith of Schuylkill Haven and Myracle Brunette of Rockaway Queens, New York. Reservations can be made at this URL: https://rb.gy/a02vi0
