                      Thursday, February 11, 2016

  Mr. OLSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Inspiration 
Stage Theater Company of Sugar Land for receiving a National 
Outstanding Performance Award for their January festival performance at 
the Junior Theater Festival.
  Inspiration Stage was founded in 2013, and as the only theater 
company in Sugar Land, has been attending the Junior Theater Festival 
since their inception. The performance that won this year's award was a 
reproduction of Disney's ``The Lion King.'' The 39 cast member 
performance hosts actors of all ages and was one of the nine selected 
out of the 115 companies participating at the festival to win the 
Outstanding Performance Award. The Junior Theater Festival is an annual 
event that allows student performances of theater companies to be 
recognized for excellent ability. We are extremely proud of the entire 
Inspiration Stage staff and cast and can't wait to see what happens 
next.
  On behalf of the Twenty-Second Congressional District of Texas, 
congratulations again to Inspiration Stage for winning the National 
Outstanding Performance Award. Keep up the great work.
