                       Friday, September 18, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Clarinda Community Theatre of Clarinda, Iowa for 
celebrating their 60th anniversary. The Community Theatre was founded 
in 1955 by a group of theatre enthusiasts.
  The mission of the Clarinda Community Theatre is to encourage and 
promote an interest in participating, observing, and supporting amateur 
theatre in the community of Clarinda. Clarinda resident Jolly Ann 
Davidson has played an important role in the success of the community 
theater. She felt it was important for Clarinda to have some form of 
live stage performances in town and has been the driving force in 
bringing numerous productions to Clarinda for the community to enjoy. 
Jolly Ann has performed in many of the plays and has seen the theatre 
grow into a top-notch performing arts facility.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend and congratulate the Clarinda Community 
Theatre for reaching this 60-year milestone. I am proud to represent 
all those who have been involved in creating this outstanding theater. 
I urge my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating them on a job well done and wishing them 
nothing but continued success.

                          ____________________
