宪法对我的意义
特别福利表演!
We are thrilled to announce that the 365滚球官网 production of “宪法对我的意义” has been invited to participate in the Region 7 Kennedy Center American College Theatre Festival in Spokane in mid-February. To prepare for this event, we are hosting a special benefit performance of the show at 2 p.m.2月18日，星期日 in the Hartung Theater. A humorous, intelligent and deeply personal look at the U.S. 宪法, this performance stars U of I professor Kelly Quinnett, U of I alumni Jeff Davis and U of I student Aurora Dickey. 导演:David Lee-Painter.
This benefit performance of "宪法" will help the cast and crew in many ways:
-
The Hartung Theater space mimics the Spokane space where the show will be performed
-
It gives the cast and crew a chance to review the material before the Spokane performance
-
Donations will help support the remount of the play in Spokane
“宪法对我的意义” has received multiple laurels. 最明显的是, the play was a finalist for both a Pulitzer Prize in drama and the Susan Smith Blackburn prize. It was nominated for the 2019 Tony Award for Best Play. Author Heidi Schreck was presented the Hull-Warriner Award by the Dramatists Guild of America Council for the play.
A Humorous, Intelligent and Personal Look at the U.S. 宪法
Humorously and intelligently and deeply, Shreck enacts and reflects on her connection to the U.S. 宪法 and the role it plays in her life, her mother’s life, and her grandmother’s life.
Her play begins with the American Legion Oratorical contests she competed in as a 15-year-old girl living in Wenatchee, 华盛顿. In the competition, debaters addressed sections of the 宪法 and its connection to them. The contests’ prize money paid Schreck’s way through college, 同样重要的是, 影响了她这个人. She takes these remembrances and contrasts them with her thoughts on the 宪法 now, 三十年后.
Real Time 研究 with the Supreme Court
在创建脚本时, she listened to recordings of courtroom arguments of the Supreme Court Justices on important cases related to the amendments. The Justices’ attention to detail and nuance as they strived to accurately interpret what the framers put down impressed Shreck and influenced her playscript.
“The fact is there was no possible way for the framers to put down every single right we have—the right to brush your teeth, 你当然有了, but how long do we want this document to be?她在剧本中写道.
A Living Document Two Hundred Years Strong
“宪法对我的意义” is most definitely not a lecture. Shreck herself is drawn in by her memory and the meaning of the 宪法 as she interacts with the audience and reflects on this foundational document and what it means in our time two hundred years after the writing.
用我们的电流, national interest in this document that laid the groundwork for our republic and as the Supreme Court reviews cases focused on its interpretation, this play is an offering to help us better understand where we are coming from and asks us to look to where we shall head as a nation. Please join us for a time of reflection and inspiration.
