Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at Seattle Rep
by Jay Irwin - Oct 6, 2022

The problem with a one person show, Dear Readers, or even a mostly one-person show is that often the author can tend to ramble.

Heidi Schreck, author of “What the Constitution Means to Me”, currently playing at the Seattle Rep, even references it herself. However, Schreck manages to take those seeming tangents and gracefully pull that thread connecting them all and bring them all together creating a wholly impactful and provocative show that will stick with you long after you leave the theater.
