What The Constitution Means To Me by Heidi Schreck –Sunday June 25, 4pm—Town Hall Theater Studio
Fifteen-year-old  Heidi earned her college tuition by winning Constitutional debate competitions across the U.S. 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.

Straight White Men  by Young Jean Lee--Sunday november 5, 4pm – Town Hall Theater Studio
When Ed and his three adult sons come together to celebrate Christmas, they enjoy cheerful trash-talking, pranks, and takeout Chinese. Then they confront a problem that even being a happy family can’t solve: When identity matters, and privilege is problematic, what is the value of being a straight white man?  The play's 2018 production at the Hayes Theater made Lee the first Asian American woman to have a play produced on Broadway.
