         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

  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.
