Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME at Soulpepper
Schreck’s script, a hit in New York that made its way to Broadway in 2019, is extremely accessible and sprightly in its deconstruction of the mythic text.

Election years can bring out the worst in anyone regardless of where their politics land. It is a time where we as Americans can exercise our right to vote, and while that can provide some promise for change, a lot of the time it feels like a test of our nerves.

Review: WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME Highlights Our Imperfect Union at B St. Theatre
Going into this election season is a perfect time to reflect upon what our country means to us. What are our values and how have we changed over the past four years? Our democracy has been, in the past, a utopian ideal that was modeled by others. More recently, it seems that we are the ones catching up as countries adopt new constitutions or reform old ones. Can we agree on the changes needed to update a centuries-old document? That’s the idea at the crux of Heidi Schreck’s Tony-nominated play, What the Constitution Means to Me, which is playing now at the B St. Theatre.
