Broadway World Los Angeles says What the Constitution Means to Me is “compelling”.
“The compelling Audrey Saverino”
“amiable Robert Foran”
“As Schreck, Saverino, overall, is a superb storyteller, able to deliver seemingly endless pages of powerful dialogue with ease, eloquence, and convincing efficacy. Her snarky side comes through quite vividly when needed, wringing out the critical humor embedded in Schreck’s text. Though, emotional moments get their due, too.”
“she does have a palpable rapport with the audience that works great with her chatterbox of a character. There’s a fine line between cloying and engaging, and she seems to have found the right balance.”
“her most compelling and passionately-delivered passages are the more trauma-leaning recollections of the specific women in her life that the Constitution didn’t do right by.”
“pre-planned guest debater is young real-life local high schooler Maria Wang, a spunky, incredibly smart and sassy young lady who more than holds her own against her older seasoned opponent”
“If Wang ever wants to pursue a future career in politics—or even acting—she’s already well-trained for such gigs, judging by her excellent sparring session with Saverino that comes off as both adorable and disarming.”
“As the pair volley their fair points with equal aplomb, the amped-up audience responds with cheers and jeers which is, I admit, a lot of fun to participate in”
“Using Saverino as both the document’s advocate and critic, the play finds a balance that keeps things civil, academic, and even, at times replete with humor and emotion.”
