Jersey Arts TV: 'What the Constitution Means to Me' Now on the Ticket at George Street Playhouse


By Gina Marie Rodriguez & Dave Tavani

originally published: 09/26/2024

No matter where we're from, political discourse can be quite polarizing. So how do you make it entertaining, fun even?

This is a question that playwright Heidi Shreck aims to challenge in the somewhat autobiographical play, "What the Constitution Means to Me."

The show highlights Schreck's teenage experience as a Constitutional debate contestant where she will make you laugh as well as analyze just what our forefathers meant in a much-discussed American document.

What the Constitution Means to Me is presented by George Street Playhouse at New Brunswick Performing Arts Center now through October 13, 2024.  Click here for ticket information.
