HR 513 Texas House · 89th Legislature (2025)

Recognizing March 2025 as Theatre in Our Schools Month.

This resolution (HR 513) symbolically recognizes March 2025 as "Theatre in Our Schools Month" in Texas. It acknowledges the educational benefits of theatre programs, including fostering creativity, improving academic performance, and developing skills like communication and teamwork for students. The resolution highlights Texas schools' existing support for theatre education, referencing 18 cities that recognized the month in 2024 and the Texas chapter of the International Thespian Society's planned Capitol visit in March 2025. It does not create new funding or requirements but formally affirms the state's commitment to valuing theatre in education.
