                         LITTLE COUNTRY THEATRE

 Ms. HEITKAMP. Madam President, I am pleased to honor and 
recognize the Little Country Theatre at North Dakota State University 
as it celebrates its 100th anniversary.
  Founded in 1914 by a small group of drama students, the Little 
Country Theatre has inspired, challenged, and educated countless 
students, faculty, and community members across North Dakota. Today, 
the Little Country Theatre is well recognized and respected for its 
diverse programming and for bringing the gift of theater to the public.
  Over the last 100 years, the Little Country Theatre has presented 
hundreds of plays throughout North Dakota. It is celebrating its 100th 
season with several special events, including the screening of a 
documentary on the rich history of the theater, its faculty, its 
leaders and its impact on the community. In addition, the group will be 
performing classic stories such as Oklahoma and Shakespeare's Love's 
Labour's Lost and hosting many thought-provoking discussions.
  The Little Country Theatre is a fixture on the North Dakota State 
University campus and serves as an important hub for current students 
by helping them understand the great value of theater and performance 
art. But its impact can be felt well beyond the stage and campus. It 
has spread the joy of the theater to rural communities across the 
State, while inspiring the next generation of actors and actresses. I 
am proud to acknowledge and honor this significant milestone for the 
Little Country Theatre.
  I ask the Senate to join me in congratulating the Little Country 
Theatre on its first 100 years and in wishing continued success in the 
future.
