The Great Hall at Cooper Union hosts a benefit reading of What the Constitution Means to Me at 8 PM June 9. Starring Heidi Schreck and other members of the work's original Broadway cast, the evening will help support National Network of Abortion Funds' mission to remove financial and logistical barriers to abortion access.

Oliver Butler will direct the cast, comprising Schreck, Mike Iveson, Rosdely Ciprian, and Thursday Williams. Schreck’s play, which imagines how the Constitution will shape America's next generation, follows Schreck's teenage self as it explores the relationship between four generations of women affected by one of America's foundational documents.
