What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

Heidi Schreck once debated the U.S. Constitution in speech competitions to earn college tuition. Now she revisits those teenage arguments and asks what the Constitution means to her — and to us — today. What the Constitution Means to Me arrives at The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Wednesday, March 31, 2027, at 7:30 PM. This Tony-nominated Broadway hit blends storytelling, history, humor and live debate into an evening that invites you into the conversation.

Schreck turns constitutional law into something funny, moving and thrillingly alive. This isn't a lecture. It's a spirited theatrical event where ideas clash and rights feel personal. The production explores citizenship, gender-based violence and the question of what happens when the document that shapes our lives doesn't protect everyone equally. For anyone who wonders whether theater can tackle big questions without losing its humanity, this show offers a compelling answer.

Bring someone whose opinion you respect even when you disagree. A friend who enjoys a good argument. A partner who cares about what citizenship means. This is the kind of night that gives you something to talk about long after you leave the theater. Director Tarah Flanaghan stages an evening that respects your intelligence and trusts you to engage with material that matters.
