What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

A stage can become a civic arena. What the Constitution Means to Me arrives at The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Friday, April 2, 2027, at 7:30 PM. Playwright Heidi Schreck revisits the teenage speech competitions where she once earned college tuition debating the U.S. Constitution, turning her personal history into a lively theatrical event. Director Tarah Flanaghan leads the production, blending storytelling, history, humor and live debate into one evening.

This Tony-nominated Broadway hit gives you something to think about, not just watch. Schreck's approach transforms constitutional debate into a personal exploration of rights and citizenship. The production invites the audience into the conversation, making the theater feel less like a lecture hall and more like a place where ideas clash and matter. For theatergoers drawn to shows that spark thought alongside emotion, this is a night that offers both.

Bring someone who enjoys a play with substance. A friend who likes theater that doesn't play it safe. A partner who appreciates humor mixed with serious questions. Choosing this show together gives you a reason to talk on the way home, and a shared evening that lingers beyond the curtain call.

Let the appeal of a good argument draw you in. Explore ticket options for What the Constitution Means to Me and put a night of theater on your calendar.
