Friday, July 03
7:00pm - 9:00pm
Clark County Library
Main TheaterCelebrate Americana 250 with a thought-provoking, autobiographical, comedic play written by Heidi Schreck that delves into various themes and the historical context of the Constitution.
Filled with sharp wit and emotional honesty, Heidi Schreck’s “What the Constitution Means to Me” is a powerful, funny, deeply personal play examining the history, the myths, and the very real effects of the U.S. Constitution on the people of America. Through the lens of her own life – particularly her experiences as a semi-professional high-school debater – Schreck blends memoir, forensic debate, and historical reflection into a heart-wrenching civics lesson that may just change your view of America’s most important document.
Written by: Heidi Schreck
Directed by: Ann-Marie Pereth & Joseph Kucan

Originally opening in 1966 as a three-room library within the Airport Annex building, the Clark County Library moved in 1967 to a storefront. In 1971, the library moved again to its current location using deeded land from the County and with money awarded by the Max C. Fleishman Foundation. The building went on to have two remodels: one completed in 1986, and the second completed in 1994, which resulted in the three-story, 120,000-square-foot building it is today. This redesign notably included a 399-seat theater and an 80-seat black box theater/dance studio. The Library District also added the Best Buy Teen Tech Center, which provides a place for teens to explore and master new technologies and digital skills.
