THIS EVENT HAS PASSED

George Street Playhouse presents What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck.

Directed by Laiona Michelle. Starring Two-Time TONY® Nominee Kate Baldwin, Niara Beckwith, Nicholas Rodriguez and Wobirba Ekuba Sarpey.

How relevant is the United States' Constitution in today's society? Does this document truly protect ALL Americans?

Playwright Heidi Schreck delves into multiple facets of this historic document, debating as to whether or not we should keep or abolish it. Through several stories and perspectives from different Americans, What the Constitution Means to Me allows the audience to define the Constitution's true worth.

What the Constitution Means to Me was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 2019, and was nominated for two Tony® Awards, including Best Play.
