‘What The Constitution Means To Me’ Running On Morristown Stage

MORRISTOWN, NJ — A performance that touches upon one of, if not the, most important documents in the United States is coming to Morristown soon.

“What the Constitution Means to Me” will be coming to The Stage at Fellowship Hall, located at Morristown United Methodist Church in Morristown, 50 South Park Place.

The performance will run Jan. 31, Feb. 1, 6, 7, and 8, with Friday and Saturday showings at 7:30 p.m. and Sunday matinees at 3 p.m. A special 10:30 a.m. performance will also be held on Feb. 6.

The show is being produced by Pioneer Production Companies, Inc.

“What the Constitution Means to Me” was written in 2019 by Pulitzer Prize finalist and Tony Award nominee Heidi Schreck.

Described by the New York Times as “an act of civic engagement,” the play tackles the principles of the U.S. Constitution using humor and hope.

It follows an adult Heidi, the play’s writer, as she “resurrects her teenage self, who earned college tuition by debating the U.S. Constitution.”

Heidi explores four generations of women and analyzes how the country-shaping document affected each of their lives and the societies they lived in.

“Whether you're a history buff, a theater lover, or just someone who enjoys a good laugh with a side of soul-searching, brace yourself for laughter, a touch of chaos, and a front-row seat to democracy like you've never seen,” a Pioneer Productions statement read.

Pioneer’s production is directed by Dan Vissers and stars Miriam Salern as Heidi, Ben Weisman as Legionnaire, and Ashlee Vissers as the Debater.

Tickets to the show can be bought online here, and general admission prices start at $25.
