What the Constitution Means to Me

Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival Encore Performance

UWL Theatre Production Chosen for Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival

The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse Department of Theatre and Dance is proud to announce that its production, What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schrek, has been selected to perform at the Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival (ACTF) Region 3 competition in Madison, Wisconsin, in January.  What the Constitution Means to Me was one of eight productions chosen from over 50 college entries from the five-state region, including Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, Indiana, and Western Ohio.

What the Constitution Means to Me is a hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play.  A pay-what-you-can open rehearsal will take place Monday, January 6 at 2:00 p.m. in Toland Theatre, Lowe Center for the Arts.  All donation proceeds will help defray the cost of traveling to the festival.

Direct from Broadway, playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans.  Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States.  In this hopeful new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
