WHEREAS, The talented cast and crew of the Martinsville High
School One-Act Play Company have advanced to the 2015 University
Interscholastic League One-Act Play State Meet; and
WHEREAS, The Martinsville Theatre's One-Act Play Company
impressed judges at the Region 3-2A One-Act Play competition with
its outstanding production of Picnic on the Battlefield by Fernando
Arrabal to secure a spot at the 89th Annual State One-Act Play
Contest in Austin; the regional triumph followed the company's fine
showing at the district, bi-district, and area competitions, and it
was made all the more special by the fact that the 2014-2015
academic year marked the first year of existence for the MHS Theatre
Department; and
WHEREAS, Martinsville earned the Outstanding Crew award and a
number of students received individual honors for their work at
regionals, including Collin Davis as Outstanding Crew Member,
Jaramie Martin and Alli Beck as All-Star Cast honorable mentions,
and Halie Morris as Best Actress; and
WHEREAS, Also contributing to the group's success were Mariah
Goree, J. T. Scates, Jasmine Ryan, Karen Salazar-Martinez, Ashlyn
Anderson, Ashlynn Stamps, Laurel Hargis, Abby DeRise, Brianna Ryan,
Brandon Asher, and Gaige Mason; these gifted young Texans were ably
guided by director Matt Perry and assistant directors Becky Martin
and Dawn Ryan; and
WHEREAS, Reaching the state contest requires countless hours
of rehearsal and an unwavering commitment to excellence, and the
members of the Martinsville Theatre's One-Act Play Company may take
well-deserved satisfaction in this outstanding accomplishment;
now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the members of the Martinsville
High School One-Act Play Company on qualifying for the 2015 UIL
One-Act Play State Meet and extend to them sincere best wishes for
the future; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
prepared for the students as an expression of high regard by the
Texas House of Representatives.
