What the Constitution Means to Me

Amazing & poignant! Ms. Schreck delivers a spot on performance with grace and style.

It pains me to write this review, and I don't know what I expected. The content and stories told in this play are heart-wrenching, but the way it's shown and the decision to film this as a live taping with audience chiming in really made me stop halfway. I'd rather read an article about the ordeals that the protagonist faced (and I'll probably like them too), but watching this as a 1 hr 45 min drama is a chore, more so with audience laughing in between which gives the feeling that laugh track in a sitcom gives. Hamilton as a movie made sense, but not this monologue.

This is one of the best shows I have watched in quite a while. It is part play, part stand up comedy, and part debate. It is relevant, passionate and at times surprising look at our history and the current state of our country, as it relates to the U.S. Constitution. And despite this performance presenting as a debate, I believe it will help to bring people together by helping them see varying points of view. There may not be a right or wrong answer, to the questions posed, but one thing is for sure; conversation is the key to healing and forward movement. This is a must watch for everyone.

I was surprised by this. Intelligent, witty, educational with the ability to be eye opening without being aggressively in your face. If you have 110 minutes and maybe some time to reflect, I'd highly recommend it. My surprise came from my expectation going into the show based on the trailers.

This play is the a powerful anecdote to the powers, both positive and negative, of the constitution. If we really care about our women, we'll listen to them. Part is the beauty of this play is being able to disagree and being able to express why. For some this will be preaching to the choir and for others this will test your boundaries of belief. Dive in and start a discussion (not a build a bunker around your own idea)
