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. Schreck's timely and galvanizing play became a sensation off-Broadway before transferring to Broadway where it received two Tony Award nominations.

In the Heights tells the universal story of a vibrant community in New York’s Washington Heights neighborhood—a place where the coffee from the bodega is light and sweet, the windows are open, and the breeze carries the rhythm of three generations of music. At the center of it all is Usnavi, a bodega owner dreaming of a better life, who watches as friends and neighbors chase love, success, and belonging. In the Heights weaves together hopes, dreams, and tough choices about which traditions to carry forward—and which ones to leave behind.
