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.

A Trip to the Moon
Set in the transformative summer of 1969, A Trip to the Moon tells the story of people reaching for their dreams … dreams of love, dreams of equality, dreams of the stars. Told around the time of the moon landing, this vignette-style play is comprised of 8 scenes, each named after an iconic song from 1969. From a girl trying to convince her parent to let her go to Woodstock in “You Can’t Always Get What You Want,” to a woman trying to get a job at NASA in “Bad Moon Rising,” to a soldier giving the new guy a reality check in “Fortunate Son,” to a group of protestors showing a girl how to fight for what’s right in “Come Together,” these scenes and more use humor and heart to teach us about who we once were and reflect on who we could be and remind us that to achieve the impossible, we must reach for the stars.

No Exit
Two women and one man are locked up together for eternity in one hideous room in Hell. The windows are bricked up, there are no mirrors, the electric lights can never be turned off, and there is no exit.
The irony of this Hell is that its torture is not of the rack and fire, but of the burning humiliation of each soul as it is stripped of its pretenses by the cruel curiosity of the damned. Here the soul is shorn of secrecy, and even the blackest deeds are mercilessly exposed to the fierce light of Hell. Famously, Hell is other people.

Everybody
Updating Everyman, the quintessential Medieval morality play – a religious allegory about death and salvation performed in public places during church festivals – Jacobs-Jenkins renames Fellowship, Kindred, Goods, Discretion, Five Wits and Knowledge as Friendship, Kinship, Stuff, Mind, Five Senses and Understanding, respectively. Instead of Good Deeds following Everyman/Everybody to the grave, the role now goes to Love.
As the play unfolds, pre-recorded voiceover scenes depict four of Everybody’s friends comforting them at their deathbed. Though the narrative is focused on death, the result is absurdly fun. Using small extracts and echoes from the original play alongside brilliant and original writing, Everybody highlights the paradoxes of living in the world today with its focus on the individual.
