                           HON. CORRINE BROWN

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 10, 2015

  Ms. BROWN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I submit the following:
  Whereas, with its production of ``Radio Golf'' in February 2015, 
Seminole State College's Theatre Department completes its 10-year 
commitment to produce all ten plays in playwright August Wilson's Tony 
Award and Pulitzer Prize winning series referred to as ``The Pittsburgh 
Cycle'', an historic feat that only a few American theaters have 
accomplished, and
  Whereas, Seminole State College has contributed to the region's 
celebration, and recognition, of Black History Month over the past 
decade by presenting the ``Pittsburgh Cycle'', which depicts the 
African-American experience during each decade of the 20th century, and
  Whereas, Seminole State College Theatre Department's production of 
the ``Pittsburgh Cycle'' demonstrates the exceptional power of college 
theater to promote active learning, and encourage individual 
development and growth, and
  Whereas, Seminole State College's decade long productions of the 
plays that make up the ``Pittsburgh Cycle'' provided unique 
opportunities for student, community, and professional theater members 
to work with nationally renowned veterans of African-American theater.
  Therefore, in recognition of Seminole State College's remarkable 
completion of August Wilson's ``Pittsburgh Cycle'', I, Corrine Brown, 
Representative of the 5th District of Florida, congratulate Seminole 
State College and its Theatre Department, and encourage the Seminole 
County and Seminole State College community to join in the celebration 
of this most noteworthy achievement.
