This event is open to all genders - No need to register - please show up and join us for a sneak preview of this exciting performance!

This 2017 American play by Heidi Schreck which the NYT calls "Uproariously funny, wrenchingly moving, and politically inspiring," takes the lead character in and out of time periods to perform some scenes as her modern self and others as she participated in debates across the country in which she covers women's rights, immigration, domestic abuse, and the history of the United States with biting humor.

She reveals multiple juicy facts about the Constitution’s origins and tackles the nearly forgotten Ninth Amendment —which Schreck refers to as the shadowy part of the Bill of Rights. She also takes a deep dive into the Fourteenth Amendment, so relevant to today, which covers citizenship rights and what it means to be "American.”

The play was a finalist for a Pulitzer not a winner It was also ominated for two tony’s including best play and two drama desk awards, including Outstanding Play. It won New York Drama Critic’s Circle Award for Best American Play and Off-Broadway Alliance Award for Best New Play
