The correspondent for BNN writes, “[WHAT THE CONSTITUTION MEANS TO ME], which has garnered multiple accolades and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, is set to premiere at Dezart Performs in the Coachella Valley. A personal tale, it weaves together the stories of women from the past and present, unraveled through the lens of the Constitution. The relevance of the play is amplified in our contemporary world, where debates on issues like Roe v. Wade are more pertinent than ever.
“Actor Robyn Cohen, who steps into the shoes of Heidi, expresses a profound connection with the play, which she felt was her destiny to perform. Cohen notes that the play allows for updates to keep statistics and language current, particularly in relation to violence against women and other social issues.
“Director Craig Wells shares his excitement for the play’s unique ability to engage audiences through stories, humor, and audience participation. In a world often overwhelmed by news and debates, the play offers an engaging and thought-provoking experience. It promotes discussions on women’s and human rights, underlining the significance of each individual’s voice in shaping the narrative.”
