What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

Heidi Schreck turns a high-school speech competition into a theatrical conversation worth having. What the Constitution Means to Me comes to The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Saturday, April 10, 2027, at 7:30 PM. The Tony-nominated Broadway hit revisits Schreck's teenage debates about the U.S. Constitution, blending storytelling, history, humor and live debate into a spirited theatrical event that asks what the document means to each of us today.

Director Tarah Flanaghan stages a civic arena where ideas clash and the audience is invited into the conversation. The play transforms a constitutional debate into something personal, funny and moving. If you've ever argued about rights, citizenship or what words written centuries ago should mean now, this production gives you a reason to care about the argument onstage.

Bring someone who enjoys a lively debate or cares about the questions Schreck raises. A theater date gives you something specific to discuss afterward, and a reason to put an evening out on the calendar. The production contains strong language and discussions of domestic violence, sexual assault, child abuse and gender-based violence, so choose your guest with the content advisory in mind.
