Back to school...❤️✨

Rehearsals for the 1st show of our 2024/25 Main Series Season kicked off tonight and we already CAN'T WAIT to share WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME with our audiences.

Tickets are already selling fast - get yours at thewilburygroup.org/what-the-constitution-means-to-me

ABOUT THE SHOW:

Heidi Schreck's Obie Award-winning 'Best New American Play' has taken the theatrical world by storm since its 2019 premiere, breathing new life into our Constitution by imagining how it will shape the next generation of Americans.

As a teenager, Heidi Shreck earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the country. In this hilarious, witty and refreshingly honest play, she revisits her fifteen-year-old self to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the lasting impact of the document that shaped their journey.

The Wilbury Group production features Charlotte Kinder in the role of Heidi, with Ricky Waugh, Madison Donnelly and Hayley Pezza. Directed by Wilbury Group resident artist Brien Lang, with scenic design by Monica Shinn, sound + light design by Andy Russ, costume design by Matt Oxley, costume assistance by Arianna Davey, and assistant direction by Ulrika Brand, the production runs September 26 – October 13.

Tickets and season memberships are available now at thewilburygroup.org (link in bio ✨)
