Heidi Schreck’s unique play,“What the Constitution Means to Me,” is a Pulitzer finalist in 2019 and takes inspiration from her experience as a teenager, when she gave speeches about the U.S. Constitution to raise college money.

She re-examines America’s guiding document with candid personal anecdotes and a wry perspective on its flaws and limitations, especially regarding women, then debates a present-day teenager.

So who else could Stageworks Theatre cast but Kari Goetz?

Not just because she has the range, passion and comic panache the role demands, she was also awarded, she says in her bio, “Best Statesman at the YMCA Youth in Government Conference on National Affairs when I was 16!”

Tickets to see ““What the Constitution Means to Me” at Tampa’s Stageworks Theatre in Tampa on Sept. 27-Oct. 13 are still available and start at $45.
