                         HON. DENVER RIGGLEMAN

  Mr. RIGGLEMAN. Madam Speaker, last week The Tony Awards announced 
that Theater Director Madeline Michel from Monticello High School in 
Charlottesville, Virginia, will receive the 2019 Excellence in Theatre 
Education Award. A panel of judges comprised of the American Theatre 
Wing, The Broadway League, Carnegie Mellon University and other leaders 
from the theatre industry selected Michel from finalists across the 
nation.
  The Excellence in Theatre Education Award was co-founded in 2014 by 
the Tony Awards and Carnegie Mellon University to recognize exceptional 
drama teachers and to celebrate arts education. Michel will receive her 
award at the 73rd Annual Tony Awards on June 9, 2019, at Radio City 
Music Hall in New York City.
  Teachers throughout the nation have the great responsibility of 
helping to develop the next generation, and Madeline Michel has 
demonstrated herself to be an exceptional educator; having received 
praise from many students, parents, and theater professionals across 
our community. Michel has shown through her creative, innovative 
approaches to theater, that she is committed to both training her 
students in theater arts and developing their character and integrity 
outside of the classroom.
  Madam Speaker, I hope you'll join me in congratulating Madeline 
Michel for her outstanding achievements in theater education for the 
students of Virginia's 5th Congressional District.
