WESTPORT–Westport Country Playhouse will present a Script in Hand reading of “What the Constitution Means to Me,“ written by Heidi Schreck, directed by Amanda Charlton, and starring Nina Hellman, Jeremy Shamos, and Jocelyn Shek, on Monday, Dec. 1, at 7 p.m. 

Promotion for the event describes “What the Constitution Means to Me” as a buoyant, personal, and thought-provoking exploration of how our nation’s defining document continues to influence our lives and ideals. With humor, heart, and insight, the play invites us to consider what the Constitution means today, and what it could mean for the future.

According to the Westport Country Playhouse, “What the Constitution Means to Me” is a New York Times Critic’s Pick, Tony Award nominee, and a Pulitzer Prize finalist.

“I’m so proud to share this remarkable piece of theatre with our Playhouse audience,” said Mark Shanahan, Playhouse artistic director. “Heidi Schreck has created a funny, heartfelt, and profoundly thoughtful play that asks us to look with honesty, humor, and compassion at the ideas that have shaped our country. At a time when our nation is so divided, this play reminds us how deeply personal our shared history is, and how vital it is that we always continue to keep questioning, listening, learning, and hoping for a path forward together. To have Nina Hellman, Jeremy Shamos, and Jocelyn Shek under Amanda Charlton’s expert direction is a gift, as they are the perfect artists to bring this story to life.”

Tickets are $30. Running time is 95 minutes, no intermission. Age recommendation is age 12 and up..
