The Constitution is like America's secular Bible, our sacred founding document. As the Supreme Court debates the future of Roe v. Wade, many of us are looking more closely at the Constitution, trying to discern how it protects us. In her play, "What the Constitution Means to Me," Heidi Schreck goes through her own process of discovering what the Constitution is really about: who wrote it, who it was for, who it protected and who it didn't. Through Heidi's personal story, we learn how both the document itself and the way it's been interpreted have affected generations of Americans — and how those effects are far from ended.

A decade ago, journalist and "American without papers" Jose Antonio Vargas outed himself as an undocumented immigrant in a national magazine. Today he works with Hollywood and TV studios to humanise the immigrant story through pop culture. In this episode

Good Morning it's Thursday February 18th, and this is The Wenatchee World's podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.  Today --- As Gov. Jay Inslee announces relaxed restrictions, restaurant owners give a sigh of relief. Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Equilus Group, Inc- Building Your Financial Success. Learn more at Equilusfinancial.com. Member SIPC and FINRA. Restaurant owners give a sigh of relief with the return of indoor dining. They can finally begin the process of slowly recovering after months of closed doors. Gov. Jay Inslee announced relaxed COVID-19 rules for much of the state last Thursday.  Inslee has also acknowledged that closures have been difficult, but that efforts have paid off.  And now, restaurant owners in Wenatchee and around the state are excited to be open.  Edwin Fonseca, is co-owner at La Tortuga Loca in Wenatchee. He told us that he feels like people are eager to go out and have the dining experience again -- which for them, is a good thing. Because of the restaurant's small size and ease of transporting food — tacos, tortas, enchiladas, and more — reopening under the governor's Phase 2 rules is fairly simple..  Fonseca and his father also took pay cuts so they would not have to lay off employees when indoor dining was shut down, so they are in no rush to find employees now that things have opened back up. Fonseca said he was optimistic about their chances and grateful to the community for their support. But Alma's Kitchen cannot afford to bring back more employees -- even  while at 25% indoor capacity. Marco Ramirez, the son of co-owner Alma Ramirex said they were scrambling to get ready. According to Ramirez the last shutdown hit Alma's Kitchen during the worst possible time. They were  down to the last dollar when the third round of PPP loans came through. Though they're thankful, he said it seems like we're always pushing it to the extreme. And unlike La Tortuga Loca, takeout is not feasible for them. Alma's Kitchen hopes to be back at 100% indoor dining in March, but for now, anything is better than nothing. Ramirez also said that surviving each shutdown has left Alma's Kitchen with huge debt from the Paycheck Protection Program -- the program that was originally a lifeline for them.  And with the prospect of returning back to Phase 1 -- takeout only -- well Alma's Kitchen will do all it can to remain open, but without additional help it would be impossible. Juan Murriz Arroyo, the owner of El Rey Azteca in East Wenatchee said that the move to Phase 2 is bittersweet. While it means that COVID-19 cases are going down, for him it's also a reminder of how much he would like to see things go back to normal. Before Inslee's announcement on Thursday, El Rey Azteca was looking at one more month before they would have to close. Arroyo said he's happy with 25% and will continue to adapt to the situation but much like Ramirez, he remains worried about returning to Phase 1. Finally, we spoke with Craig Still, the owner of Garlini's Napoletana in Wenatchee. Still said he is thrilled about the move to 25% indoor dining. Garlini's had been working with the “open air” protocols that were allowing customers to dine inside as long as people were spaced six feet apart, and windows and doors were kept open. But with the transition to Phase 2, he no longer has to do that. Thanks to a takeout program and their customers, Garlini's was able to survive, and moving back to Phase 2 has infused some energy into the staff. Next, For Valentine's Day, local residents shared their memories of love. Today we're excited to share a few. Jennifer Thacker found her picture-perfect ending at Liberty Theatre in 1991. The East Wenatchee resident was 20 at the time. She was working as a box office attendant at the Wenatchee movie theater when she met her husband Sam. Sam worked at the local Domino's, and his co-worker was dating Jennifer's co-worker. Sam tried to get the co-worker to give him Jennifer's number, but was too shy to ask in person. So Jennifer ultimately took matters into her own hands. She went into Domino's and asked him out. For their first date, Jennifer got free tickets from the theater to see the newly-released Blake Edwards film “Switch”. A year later Jennifer and Sam were married at Lincoln Rock State Park, and they have remained together since. The Thackers were just one of 30 Wenatchee Valley residents to share her memorable location of love for The Wenatchee World's first Locations of Love map.  Here are some other highlights: Bob H. found his high-school sweetheart at Cashmere High School: They met in high school and got married on prom day -- It was cheaper to rent the tux once than have to rent it twice. They've been married almost 30 years. Victoria V. gave birth to their love at Central Washington Hospital: Victoria's first Love Location was at the Central Washington Hospital in Wenatchee, where she gave birth to her daughter Payton-Olivia. And a few of our readers celebrated love at Mission Ridge: Brian H had one of his first dates with his now wife at Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort. She had never skied before and he wanted to teach her how. Time went by and he ended up popping the question in that same location. They've been married for four years now and still go skiing all the time. Melanie R said she and her husband both grew up in the Wenatchee Valley but met after high school. They love the outdoors. They set their wedding date for August 8th of 1998 at Mission Ridge. They've been married now for 22 years and still live in the valley.  And finally, Anne and Rod H. were sitting on the top of a rock at graffiti corner on Mission Ridge Road after a good day of skiing --- they drank a beer, looked out at the valley, and were thankful for the good life they've had.

In 2015 she won the Obie Award for Playwriting for You Got Older. She was also a finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for Dance Nation. Barron became interested in theatre in her early teens. She was in a Shakespeare troupe for children Wenatchee, which was run by the playwright Heidi Schreck's mother, Sherry Schreck.

What could be more a timely topic for inauguration week than the US Constitution? But this isn’t any old patriarchal take on our country’s founding document. This week on All Ears Abby talks to playwright and actor Heidi Schreck, creator of Tony-nominated Broadway hit, “What The Constitution Means To Me”. In the play, Heidi reflects back on her teenage experience as an award-winning orator, traveling the country to compete with other teens on the topic of the US Constitution. If anyone ever had a mad crush on a document, it was 15 year old Heidi. But she also looks at it as an adult woman, processing the generational trauma of domestic abuse in her family, and the impact of how our laws have been historically interpreted through the lens of the values and biases of the landowning white men who wrote it. Though Abby and Heidi grapple with our nation’s historical sins and its uncertain future, you will come out the other side of this lively conversation with a spark of optimism. Much like Inauguration 2021!

A Finalist for the 2019 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Heidi Schreck's brilliant American play WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME is the topic of this next podcast episode. Jeff and Richie dive deep into the meaning of the piece, why it was created for the theatre, and how the Constitution personally affects everyone. As does the play, our podcast also ends with the question "Should the Constitution be abolished or kept?"

Daily Show correspondents Ronny Chieng and Michael Kosta play a game about Elvis and The Lord of the Rings. Heidi Schreck talks about her play What the Constitution Means to Me and audits the cutest civics class ever, where kids read the Constitution. Plus, comedians Danielle Perez and Madison Shepard win the "good sport" award in a quiz about mascots. This episode originally aired on October 23, 2020.

The new take on Broadway’s play called What the Constitution Means to Me defies typical movie reviewer reactions. We critics usually chastise filmmakers who fail to make a screen version of a play feel cinematic. But both director Marielle Heller and writer/star Heidi Schreck deserve kudos for bringing the sense of an intimate play onto home screens.

Good Morning it's Thursday December 10th, and this is The Wenatchee World's newest podcast, Slices of Wenatchee. We're excited to bring you a closer look at one of our top stories and other announcements every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday. Today, we have the story of Santa and about 10 members of the Chelan County Regional SWAT Team who surprised a young cancer patient with presents. Today's episode is brought to you by Equilus Group Incorporated. Equilus Group, Inc is a Registered Investment Advisory Firm in the states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho.

And before we begin, do you want to share your home's holiday light display with the valley? You can add your festive decorations to our interactive map by visiting wenatcheeworld.com/holidaylights Now our feature story… As “Santa Claus is Comin' to Town” echoed off the homes in an otherwise quiet Malaga neighborhood, Saint Nick shouted season's greetings from his position inside the turret of an armored vehicle to a girl fighting cancer. Santa and about 10 members of the Chelan County Regional SWAT Team recently delivered Christmas presents to 4-year-old Danica Taylor and her brothers Harrison and Hawkins. Danica was diagnosed with an atypical teratoid rhabdoid tumor in her brain three years ago and has undergone 23 surgeries. Danica's mom, Audrey Taylor said that her daughter is sweet but sassy, and brave too. She also said [quote] “Danica knows when she has to do hard things, and sometimes that's hard for her, but she will still do it” Audrey Taylor described a moment when Danica was 2. At the time, her greatest fear was when nurses had to change the sticker covering her Hickman line, a type of catheter often used in chemotherapy. Danica was crying and Audrey asked - ‘Danica, can you sing ‘Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star'? And Danica did. Last Thursday was a good day though, she wore a “Pink Panther” mask with matching pink Vans, sat on a porch swing with her mom as the SWAT team passed the Taylor kids presents. Here's Danica when she first heard about the special drive by parade: She giggled when Santa, sometimes known as Deputy Brett Peterson, gave her a stuffed snowman and was delighted by a “Frozen II” Elsa doll.  The parade of police vehicles and Santa's appearance was part of the department's Santa's Stars program, which was started six years ago by Adam Musgrove, the chief of patrol for the Chelan County Sheriff's Office. Julie Lindholm, the executive director of Wellness Place, a nonprofit group that helps cancer patients and survivors in Chelan, Douglas, Grant and Okanogan counties told Musgrove about Danica's story, and he wanted to do something very special for her and her family.  For the Taylors, the night was a warm spot in an otherwise painful year. Audrey Taylor said that she was really grateful to have the support of community members in Wenatchee, especially after coming from a time in Covid where people were saying ‘We're in this together,' but in reality they were isolated in a hospital room. The family happened to be at Seattle Children's Hospital on Feb. 29 to get Danica treatment when the state's first COVID death was reported in King County. This was initially believed to be the first death in the U.S.  The hospital immediately initiated strict safeguards within its walls and permitted patients only one visitor at a time. Audrey Taylor described it saying that the hospital's glass doors slammed shut behind them and they didn't know why visitors weren't allowed in. They spent about the next 73 days at the hospital, a time period during which Danica had 11 surgeries. On top of medical complications, the stay was made even more difficult by the pandemic protocols. Only one parent was allowed at her bedside and Danica wasn't able to see her brothers, so the family was separated for most of the stay. They don't take their time together for granted, and Danica's dad prays every night that they'll all be under one roof. Danica is headed back to Seattle for more treatment soon, and if you'd like to support the family a GoFundMe is available.

Renata Kobetts Miller is Professor of English and Deputy Dean of Humanities and the Arts at the City College of New York.Her book, "The Victorian Actress in the Novel and on the Stage" begins in the 1830s and ends in the 1910s. It looks at how Victorian novels and plays used the actress, who was a significant figure for the relationship between women and the public sphere, to define their own place within and among genres and in relation to audiences. It traces a cultural history of the actress that led actresses to appropriate the pen themselves by becoming suffragette playwrights and writing new social roles for women, and Elizabeth Robins was one of the women who did that. Elizabeth Robins was a problem solver. Someone who developed new abilities and worked in different modes to bring about change. An American who felt a strong attraction to London and its culture.

Our guest this episode is Sydney McIvor, a 3L student. Sydney mentions a play for her law-related entertainment -- What the Constitution Means to Me by Heidi Schreck -- which she saw on Broadway. (Lucky her! -- but also lucky for those who have access to Amazon Prime as it is available for streaming: https://www.amazon.com/What-Constitution-Means-Me/dp/B08KRB3FQ4)   Sydney talks about two internships/placements she's had, both of which took her outside of Canada. First, during her 1L summer she was with the World Bank Group in Washington DC -- an internship funded through Osgoode Hall Law School (there's another position funded through Western Law); and second, a term spent at The Hague in the Residual Mechanism for International Criminal Tribunals - which related to matters left over from the International Criminal Tribunal for the Former Yugoslavia. Richard thought she was paid for these positions, but she assured us she wasn't.   Felicity is curious as to why Sydney hates Canada because she's always off galivanting around the world. Sydney's answer is much more sophisticated: she sees law as a somewhat limited licensed profession because expertise in it is not all that transferable, unlike other professions. For her, committing to one jurisdiction (as you pretty much need to do if you're going to have a career in professional practice) can be daunting for someone just starting out, and the barriers to moving around are high.   Sydney's advice if you want to do international law work: think about going to law school in the place you want to be; but if that's not possible, realize that a common law degree is a good backstop, particularly if the law school has an international reputation (which many in Canada do).     Music Attribution: What's Love Got to Do With It by Tina Turner Soundcloud: What's Love Got to Do with It

Sharing our POV regarding three wonderful pieces: (Please note two mistakes on this episode: 1) I mention Heidi Schreck doing contests... they were competitions... 2) The plays and monologues in Say Their Names have different titles from those of the names of the victims they are speaking of. Roosevelt: Charge the Bear by The Roustabouts Theatre Co. The world premiere of Roosevelt: Charge the Bear starring Phil Johnson in a virtual filmed presentation as part of their fourth season. As theatres all across the world are adapting to current conditions, many are moving their presentations to filmed productions online. Roosevelt: Charge the Bear will run through November 2. Tickets for the new media release are available now at theroustabouts.org. Phil Johnson stars in this new one-man show about President Theodore Roosevelt, one of the most fascinating people of the 20th century. In this gripping 90-minute show, the new president grapples with the issues that would define his term: taking on the trusts, trying to get his message across to the people, and his colossal challenge - the coal strike of 1902. Miners and others were killed, tensions were high, and --- the biggest threat of all --- innocent people were at risk of freezing to death that winter. Rosina Reynolds helmed the production. The design team included Tony Cucuzzella (Set Design/Props), Matt Lescault-Wood (Sound Design), Joel Britt (Lighting Design), Jordyn Smiley (Costume Design), Ross Stewart (Costume Design Assistant). Jessamyn Foster was the Stage Manager. Michael Brueggemeyer was the Director of Photography/Editor. Rebecca Crigler, General Manager of The Roustabouts, produced the drama, following SAG, Federal, State, and local COVID-19 practices and protocols.

Fifteen year old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States.

On the Season Two premiere of Next Question with Katie Couric, Katie gets to the bottom of the century-long battle over the Equal Rights Amendment, which says that "Equality of rights under the law shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex." On Jan. 15, 2020, Virginia became the 38th, and therefore final, state needed to add it to the Constitution — 48 years after it was first passed by Congress. But what does that mean for the ERA now? Does it finally have a shot at becoming the law of the land, or will it be marred by an endless series of legal challenges? ERA Coalition Co-President and CEO Carol Jenkins walks Katie through the history of the amendment and what comes next. Katie also talks with playwright Heidi Schreck about why the ERA’s inclusion is so crucial for — and personal to — American women.

I met Alex Wyse 3 or 4 years ago after an event and we became quick friends. Aside from being hilarious, he has such a wealth of experience and the perspective he's gained from all the work he's done is so informative and, I think, helpful for anyone who's trying to figure out how to navigate a career in entertainment. He's worked on and off-broadway, in television, film, as a producer and most recently he and his writing partner, Wesley Taylor, released the third season of their award winning web series INDOOR BOYS. I thought this would be a perfect time to sit down and reflect with Alex on where he's at. He was pretty insistent with me that this not be a rundown of his resume, which I was thrilled to hear. I wasn't quite sure where the conversation would take us, but we found ourselves talking about self-worth, the definition of success, creating your own path, mothers and sons, and much much more. Wether you know Alex or not, I think you're really going to come to appreciate what's he's got to share. On television, Wyse has appeared in multiple roles since 2010 including Bored to Death, Switched at Birth, The Bold and the Beautiful, Marvel's Iron Fist, and Masters of Sex. On film, he appeared opposite America Ferrera in X/Y. With Wesley Taylor, he co-created, wrote, directed, and starred in the web series Indoor Boys. To date, it has been nominated for eighteen Indie Series Awards and won six, including Best Web Series – Comedy, Best Writing – Comedy, and Best Lead Actor – Comedy for Wyse. In theater, he performed in various regional productions before making his Broadway debut in Lysistrata Jones, which ran at the Walter Kerr Theatre from 2011 to 2012. Also on Broadway, he played schoolboy Georg Zirschnitz in the Deaf West Theatre's production of Spring Awakening, and in 2018, he joined the musical Waitress, as Ogie. Off-Broadway, he has been seen in Lysistrata Jones, Triassic Parq, Bare, and Ride the Cyclone. In 2013–2014, he toured with the national company of Wicked, playing the role of Boq. And in 2015, he appeared opposite Evan Rachel Wood and Rumer Willis in For the Record: Dear John Hughes in Los Angeles. He also co-produced the Broadway transfer of Heidi Schreck's play What the Constitution Means to Me, which opened at the Helen Hayes Theater on March 31, 2019. The Come Up is a podcast that holds space for honest conversations about the reality of being a growing artist in the entertainment industry today. The myth of "making it" tells us that our happiness and fulfillment is dependent on a specific outcome when the truth is that there is no moment of arrival - the journey is never ending. This podcast will serve as an archive of individual perspectives and a source of inspiration for anyone navigating their own creative path.

Recode's Kara Swisher talks to the creators of two new plays that intersect with tech issues: Heidi Schreck, the former star and playwright of What the Constitution Means to Me, and the writer and director of Right to Be Forgotten — Sharyn Rothstein and Seema Sueko. Schreck took the name of her play from a series of debate competitions she competed in as a teenager, but has developed a more complicated appreciation for the Constitution as an adult, and discusses how its flaws connect to her own life story. Later in the show, Rothstein and Sueko talk about the thorny political question of how permanent our communications online should be, and whether people have a "right to be forgiven" for past misdeeds.

Heidi Schreck, the whip-smart playwright and star of the Broadway hit What the Constitution Means to Me, sits down with Harvard Law professor Laurence Tribe and award-winning journalist Dahlia Lithwick to discuss what the Constitution means today and how the play has brought it to life. The conversation was recorded on July 28, 2019 in front of a live audience at New York's 92nd Street Y.

Heidi Schreck is the playwright and star of Broadway’s “What the Constitution Means to Me.” The play, which was nominated for two Tonys and was a Pulitzer finalist, was inspired by Schreck’s experience as a teenager competing in debates about the Constitution at American Legion halls across the country. As an adult, she revisits her personal connection to the document to see how it holds up in new light.

From Off-Broadway to Broadway, "What The Constitution Means to Me" is an American play by Heidi Schreck that reflects her experience as a teenager and her family, starring our youngest guests, Rosdely Ciprian and Thursday Williams.

Few Americans dispute the centrality of the Constitution as a statement of our country’s goals; it is as though holy. But what the Constitution actually means to any two people may differ widely, and those differences are dramatized in a new play, on Broadway, called “What the Constitution Means to Me.” It’s essentially a one-person show written and performed by Heidi Schreck (profiled in The New Yorker by Michael Schulman), and it’s her first play to reach Broadway. The performer reflects on her personal history as a high-school debate champion, when she was rewarded for upholding an officially sanctioned view of American politics that she has come to realize is a distortion. Both the play and Schreck’s performance have been nominated for Tony Awards; it’s a hit, and it’s a cultural flashpoint in an era when the phrase “constitutional crisis” is invoked almost weekly. Dorothy Wickenden spoke with Heidi Schreck. Plus, SoundCloud rap—once a marginal, willfully weird genre for amateurs—has lately created some of the biggest hits in hip-hop.

This week, a showdown between Congress and the Trump Administration over the refusal of Attorney General William Barr to testify before the House Judiciary Committee spurred further conversation about a “constitutional crisis.” In recent years, there has been a non-stop national debate about how the Constitution handles potential abuses of Presidential power and the relationship among the three branches of government. The Constitution is also the unlikely subject of a new play, on Broadway: “What the Constitution Means to Me,” written and performed by Heidi Schreck. Dorothy Wickenden visits Schreck backstage, at the Hayes Theatre, on Broadway, to discuss what the Constitution does and does not say about the basic rights of Americans.

Thursday Williams and Rosdely Ciprian are two New York City high school students making their Broadway debuts alternating in What the Constitution Means to Me. Heidi Schreck's work earned two 2019 Tony nominations, including Best New Play. Williams and Ciprian take turns debating Schreck in the play.
