WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME
Ensemble Theatre Cincinnati
Sept. 9-Oct. 1
[Over-the-Rhine]
Directed by Brian Robertson
Cast: Phil Fiorini as Legionnaire/Mike, Connan Morrissey as Heidi & Sydni Charity Solomon as Debater
Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful, and achingly human new play, she embodies her teenage self in order to trace the founding document’s profound impact on not just her own life, but the past four generations of women in her family, starting with the first to set foot in America: a mail-order bride. A Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award nominee, this boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. While Heidi and her companions debate, they tackle tough subjects and use adult language. Expect thoughtful discussion on sexual and physical violence; murder; slavery; mental health and suicide; homophobia; and sex, sexuality, and abortion. Bring an open mind, be ready to participate, and get excited for an entertaining refresher on the Constitution!
