Zeitgeist’s 2026 Theater Season is here to enlighten and uplift—to offer inspiration and conversation. These playwrights and these four shows give us a chance to look inward and connect with ourselves, maybe a little more than we’re used to. This season is meant to teach us about something bigger; it’s meant to show us more about our shared humanity and possibly offer a way to find honesty, truth, and (yes, I’ll say it) love. We are so glad you’re here. Everyone is welcome.
In the words of the great Stella Adler, “Life beats down and crushes the soul, and art reminds you that you have one.” Thank you for showing up and supporting the theater that happens at Zeitgeist. When you show up, we will too.

SPECIALTY LIVE SHOWS
Join us after the show on February 15th at 3:45
Join us Sunday, Feb 15th after our matinee performance of What The Constitution Means To Me at 3:45pm to have a conversation with Sara Jane Balwin, a civil rights lawyer, to discuss the themes from the show and how they relate to what is happening in our current political climate. This is meant to be an informal conversation, bring your questions and curiosities, and let’s stand in community together.
WHAT THE CONSTITUION MEANS TO ME
February 14 & 15
Does now feel like a good time for all of us to review our US constitution? What do you say we do it together!?
On February 14th and 15th join us for a special, pop-up production of What the Constitution Means to Me, and let’s show our community some love. The show blends humor with personal storytelling, and is a great way to remind ourselves what the constitution means to each of us.
No set ticket price, just pay what you want or what you can. No one should feel priced out of coming. That said, when you do reserve that ticket, know we’ll donate proceeds from the show to important nonprofits that work to protect our rights like the ACLU and the Immigrant Defense Network. Pocket sized constitutions for everyone? Yes please!!
Direct from Broadway, 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, directed by Oliver Butler, became a sensation off-Broadway before transferring to Broadway where it received two Tony Award nominations among countless other accolades. The New York Times hailed What the Constitution Means to Me as “not just the best play to open on Broadway so far this season, but also the most important.”
