What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

Constitutional debate usually stays in classrooms or cable news. What the Constitution Means to Me turns the stage into a civic arena where humor, history and personal storytelling collide. Playwright Heidi Schreck revisits the teenage speech competitions where she once earned college tuition by debating the U.S. Constitution, and her return to that format creates a theatrical event that feels like a conversation you're invited into. The Clarence Brown Theatre Company stages the Tony-nominated Broadway hit at The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Friday, March 26, 2027, at 7:30 PM.

Schreck blends storytelling with live debate, moving between her family's history and the document's enduring impact on citizenship and rights. The show asks what the Constitution means to each of us today, and that question gives the evening its weight. You're not watching a lecture; you're experiencing a spirited exploration of ideas that clash, connect and matter beyond the theater.

Bring someone ready for a night that makes you think. A partner who enjoys spirited conversation. A friend who values theater that engages rather than entertains alone. Choosing this show together means choosing an outing with substance, a reason to talk after the curtain falls and something more rewarding than routine plans.
