The League of Women Voters of the Morris Area and Pioneer Productions, along with Chatham Borough, are hosting a special “talk back” discussion immediately following the July 12th performance of Heidi Schreck’s award-winning play, "What the Constitution Means to Me.”  The discussion will be led by League President Kathy Abbott and will include the cast and creative team from Pioneer Productions.

The audience is invited to join the discussion, which will provide an opportunity to reflect on the relevance of the play’s themes to civic engagement and our democracy today.

The League of Women Voters (LWV) of the Morris Area is a nonpartisan, grassroots civic organization that empowers voters and defends democracy. Originally formed in 1947 as the League of Women Voters of the Morristown Area, the organization officially rebranded to the League of Women Voters of the Morris Area to reflect its expanded outreach and service to the broader Morris County community.  The League encourages active, informed participation in government and works to increase understanding of major public policy issues. It never supports or opposes any political party or candidate. Membership is open to anyone aged 16 or older.

We are thrilled ot announce that Pioneer Productions and the Morris Museum have partnered with the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey (ACLU-NJ) for a post-show discussion on September 20th with ACLU-NJ staff member DaWuan Norwood, Policy Counsel, and other Constitutional Law experts.  Audience members are invited to stay for the interactive discussion that will take place immediately following the performance.
