PROFESSOR WILLIAM ARAIZA’S expertise in constitutional law made it to the Broadway stage this year when he served as a Playbill credited advisor on the Tony-nominated play “What the Constitution Means to Me,” playwright Heidi Schreck’s autobiographical exploration of the impact of the Constitution on her life and the lives of other women. Araiza met Schreck when he consulted on the Elevator Repair Service theater company’s play Arguendo, which dramatized a First Amendment case, and took part in several audience talkbacks. Schreck asked Araiza to advise on her new project focusing on the Constitution. “I explained the law to her, but also encouraged a discussion about the larger questions surrounding those issues,” said Araiza. “Heidi’s work engages fundamental questions about American constitutional law and how that law relates to individual persons. It was an honor working with such a talented storyteller.”
