What The Constitution Means To Me Extends

Author AbigailAbigail, January 20th, 2020

Now playing at the Mark Taper Forum

Heidi Schrek's Tony-nominated one-woman show has been delighting Los Angeles theater goers at the Mark Taper Forum. So much so that the production is now extending its time at the venue for the second time!

Originally scheduled to play through to February 23, the play, which was nominated for Best Play at the 2019 Tony Awards, will now conclude its run on February 28. 

The current cast includes Maria Dizzia alongside original Broadway cast members Mike Iveson and Rosdely Ciprian. The cast is also joined by local student Jocelyn Shek. What The Constitution Means To Me is directed by Oliver Butler.

What is What The Constitution Means To Me about?

Whilst written in the Obama era, What The Constitution Means To Me is as topical and necessary as ever. Originally performed by regular Off-Broadway actor Schreck, it recreates one of the American Legion halls she travelled to in her teenage years, where she earned accolades for Casting Spells: The Crucible Of The Constitution. 

Whilst sunny and optimistic in her yellow blazer, she traces the stories of four generations of women in her family and their direct relationship with the constitution, how it omitted and forsook them, something still happening to women today. Comedy, drama, memoir and debate collide in a thought-provoking whirlwind. Prepare to laugh, cry and contemplate long after the curtains come down.
