SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 204
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
join the American Alliance for Theatre and Education, the
Educational Theatre Association, and the International Thespian
Society in celebrating March of 2021 as Theatre In Our Schools
Month; and
WHEREAS, The arts have been a part of the human journey for
thousands of years, and theater is an integral part of a
well-rounded arts education; by describing, defining, and
celebrating the human experience, the arts add depth and
perspective to our lives and our environment; and
WHEREAS, Participation in theater contributes to the
development of students by enhancing their listening skills and
stimulating self-expression and creativity; theater classes help
develop an individual's self-confidence and can increase one's
empathy and compassion while highlighting the importance of
teamwork and open communication; and
WHEREAS, Whether as a creative outlet or as the first steps
toward a professional career, theater programs play a vital role
in preparing students to face the challenges of today's
ever-changing society; it is indeed fitting that a month be set
aside to raise awareness of the value of theater education for
every student; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 87th
Legislature, hereby recognize March of 2021 as Theatre In Our
Schools Month and encourage all Texans to celebrate the state's
theater programs and their teachers and students; and, be it
further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared in
honor of Theatre In Our Schools Month.
