Heidi Schreck channels her teenage self — and challenges the Constitution — in her powerful new play

Schreck began working on herConstitution10 years ago, but it feels especially timely in this current political moment.

I realized how deeply the document had shaped my life and the lives of the women in my family.

And I became fascinated with all the Supreme Court cases that had to do with womens bodies.

I still have that 15-year-old in me awkward, idealistic, quite innocent.

I think [she] knew that something was wrong underneath all of her optimism but couldnt articulate it.

And doing the play has been like a process of articulating and understanding that.

In that, and withWhat the Constitution Means to Me, Schreck definitely succeeds.
