The Center is proud to present a variety of theatrical programs which immerse visitors in pivotal constitutional moments and expand their understanding of the Constitution, its relevance, and its impact. Theatrical programs at the National Constitution Center teach challenging content, create shared experiences, deepen our understanding of the unfamiliar, and inspire reflection, curiosity, and action. Many of our programs also include online educational resources, which can be used for preparation, as supplemental materials, and/or for standalone use.
