What the Constitution Means to Me defies classification in a number of ways. First, it’s brilliant. But then it’s so much more.
Heidi Schreck played herself on Broadway weaving constitutional scholarship into the story of her life and stories of her family going back generations.
On tour, Cassie Beck slips right into the role of Heidi and then, toward the end of the play, slips right out of that role. But that’s just an interesting twist where we get to see Beck’s debating skills.
Or is that scripted? We left the theater wondering. The story of Roe v. Wade is told through Heidi’s story about her own abortion.
