What the Constitution Means to Me is a 2017 American play by Heidi Schreck. In it, fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
Emilyn Toffler is an actor in the play and Emilyn joined Mike Hogan on “Live & Local” to discuss the ideas behind the play and what it’s like to tour the country as a high school student doing a critically acclaimed show.
The show is in Omaha for one night, January 20th, at the Orpheum Theater.
