Playwright Heidi Schreck’s boundary-breaking play breathes new life into our Constitution and imagines how it will shape the next generation of Americans. Fifteen-year-old Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the United States. In this hilarious, hopeful and achingly human new play, she resurrects her teenage self in order to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
Featuring professional actress and MU alumna, Megan Murphy Chambers, ’01.
The performance on Friday, September 19 at 7:30 p.m. will be followed by a panel with Kinder Institute faculty.

In the wake of the recently fallen kingdom of Troy, former queen Hecuba must overcome the insurmountable. Now a slave, her daughter is sacrificed to appease an angry spirit, and her son is murdered by a trusted friend for the gold that was intended for the child’s care. Before she is forced across the ocean to serve her foe, Hecuba- with the help of the chorus of enslaved women- exacts her revenge on the traitorous Polymestor. Above all, Euripides’ Hecuba is a story of perseverance through grief, vengeance, and the aftermath of violence.
