What the Constitution Means to Me

What the Constitution Means to Me at The Jenny Boyd Theatre

Heidi Schreck once argued the U.S. Constitution to earn college tuition. Now she invites you into that debate. What the Constitution Means to Me comes to The Jenny Boyd Theatre in Knoxville on Thursday, April 1, 2027, at 7:30 PM. Directed by Tarah Flanaghan, this Tony-nominated work blends storytelling, history and live debate to explore what citizenship and rights mean today. If you've ever wondered how the Constitution touches your own life, here's a theatrical event built around that question.

Schreck revisits the teenage speech competitions where she once stood onstage defending the document, then widens the lens to examine how its protections—and its gaps—shape women's lives across generations. The show is funny, moving and thrillingly alive, turning the stage into a civic arena where ideas clash and the audience becomes part of the conversation. This isn't a lecture; it's a theatrical experience that makes constitutional rights feel immediate and personal.

Make this the night you invite someone who cares about the same questions. A friend who enjoys theater that challenges. A partner who appreciates work that balances humor with emotional weight. Choosing the show together gives you something specific to discuss on the way home and a reason to put an April evening on the calendar.

Let your curiosity about the conversation make the decision. Explore ticket options for What the Constitution Means to Me in Knoxville and plan a Thursday night that offers both insight and engagement.
