What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

What if a high school debate competition could help you understand your rights today? Playwright Heidi Schreck revisits the teenage speech contests where she once earned college tuition by arguing the U.S. Constitution, and what starts as personal memory becomes a lively civic conversation. The Clarence Brown Theatre Company stages What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Sunday, April 11, 2027, at 2:00 PM. Follow Schreck's journey from teenage competitor to adult citizen asking harder questions.

Director Tarah Flanaghan leads this production of the Tony-nominated Broadway play, blending storytelling, history, humor and live debate into a theatrical event that keeps the audience engaged. The stage becomes a civic arena where ideas clash and the Constitution stops being an artifact you studied once and starts being a living document that affects your life now. Schreck's script gives you something to care about beyond the history lesson.

A Sunday matinée offers a reason to spend the afternoon with someone who enjoys theater that provokes thought and conversation. Invite a friend who cares about citizenship, a family member who remembers their own civics class, or a partner ready for an outing that sparks discussion afterward. The play gives you something specific to talk about on the drive home.
