Press Reviews

"Endearingly funny and deeply affecting... It would be hard to identify a work for the theater with its finger more on the pulse of America right now."
— Peter Marks, The Washington Post

"Uproariously funny, wrenchingly moving, critically challenging and politically inspiring."
— David Cole, The New York Review of Books

"A charming and incisive analysis of gender and racial biases inherent to the U.S. Constitution that examines how this living document could evolve to fit modern America."
— 2019 Pulitzer Prize Committee

"What the Constitution Means to Me is one of the things we always say we want theater to be: an act of civic engagement. It restarts an argument many of us forgot we even needed to have."
— Jesse Green, The New York Times

"Heidi Schreck's fiercely urgent and soul-restoring What the Constitution Means to Me keeps uncannily in step with the times."
— David Cote, The Observer
