It’s theater in the old sense, the Greek sense, a place where civic society can come together and do its thinking and fixing.

We are excited to announce a special, limited-engagement run of Heidi Schreck's What the Constitution Means to Me, coming to Morristown in early 2026. The play will run for six performances only, on January 31, February 1, 6, 7, and 8, 2026.
Friday and Saturday evenings at 7:30 PM (Jan 31, Feb 6, 7)
Sunday matinees at 3:00 PM (Feb 1, Feb 8)
Additional morning matinee on Friday, Feb 6 at 10:30 AM
Pioneer Productions' Artistic Director, Dan Vissers, directs Schreck’s boundary-breaking play that 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 play, she resurrects her teenage self to trace the profound relationship between four generations of women and the founding document that shaped their lives.
What the Constitution Means to Me won the Obie Award for Best New American Play and the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for Best American Play. The play was also nominated for the Tony Award for Best Play and was a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
The performance will feature veteran Pioneer performer Miriam Salerno in the role of Heidi. Previous Pioneer roles for Salerno include Sugar in Tiny Beautiful Things, Bella in Lost in Yonkers, Annette in God of Carnage, and Beth in Dinner with Friends. The cast also includes Ben Weisman as Legionnaire and Ashlee Vissers as the Debater.

As a bonus, patrons will be greeted with a special live preshow cabaret performance by Jade Delos Santos, who starred on the Pioneer stage earlier this year as Joanne in Jonathan Larson's RENT. Delos Santos will open the evening with a short USO-style cabaret set that features a selection of classics from the 20th century.
It's all an extraordinary balance of historical fact, legal analysis and personal experience presented with a warm, conversational tone.
