From: The Provincetown TheaterWriting to you today with an overwhelming sensation of gratitude. Thank you so much for making our “Giving Tuesday” such a tremendous success. Honestly, as a year-round non-profit theater company, we cannot create the kinds of shows you love, deserve, and have come to expect from us without your support. Thank you!
Deeply grateful here, too, for the extraordinary critical and audience response to our Cape Cod Premiere of Heidi Schreck’s Pulitzer finalist play, What the Constitution Means to Me, which begins the first of its four final performances tonight at 7pm.
And if you were at last Sunday’s thrilling post-show talkback -- where our show’s creative team was joined by civic leaders MA State Rep Sarah Peake, Dr. Elspeth Slayter, and Dir of Inclusion, Equity, and Diversity for the Town of Provincetown, Donna Walker (pictured above) -- then you know what kind of stimulating, empowering, and rejuvenating energy this show inspires!
“Both entertaining and highly charged… Who would think a play about the Constitution could be so engrossing? What seems like a potentially dry subject becomes a startling eye-opener in the Cape Cod premiere of Heidi Schreck’s What the Constitution Means to Me at Provincetown Theater.
Anne Stott excels in what is almost a one-woman show. She commands the stage at every turn.”
– Shannon Goheen, Cape Cod Times
“Performed brilliantly by Anne Stott… What the Constitution Means to Me is not a lesson but an entertainment, filled with humor, heartbreaking memories, anger at the Supreme Court, debates, audience participation, and fourth-wall-breaking twists.”
– Howard Karren, Provincetown Independent
“What the Constitution Means to Me is a rich, layered, heart-rending experience that will resonate with audiences for weeks or months to come.
Anne Stott is vulnerable, strong, humorous, and resilient. When her eyes fill with tears, so do ours. She is, in a word, perfect. An inspired choice for our era… Go see this play!”
– Jeannette de Beauvoir, Ptownie.com

In The Wings...
Continuing our association with The Provincetown Commons, next week the new B-Plot Reading Series will host a final free play reading of the year: Sheila Callaghan’s Women Laughing Alone with Salad.
Inspired by the internet meme, the play chows down on modern romance, societal norms, meaningful (or UN-meaningful) sex to form a hilarious dark comedy for our times.
Starring Anne Stott, Katie Pentedemos, Rebecca Berger, Mikayla Myers, and Peter Toto, the free-of-charge reading will take place on Wednesday, Dec 6 at 7pm at The Commons, 46 Bradford Street in Provincetown, MA.
