SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 16
(By Senators Foster, McCabe, Wells, Sprouse, Bailey, Green and
Stollings)
Recognizing the Children's Theatre of Charleston on its 75th
anniversary.
Whereas, Miss Sarah Spencer, a teacher in the Kanawha County
school system and an advocate for the exposure of children to live
theater, founded the Children's Theatre of Charleston as an
outgrowth of her drama class; and
Whereas, Miss Spencer believed, and the many volunteers at the
Children's Theatre of Charleston still believe, that any type of
exposure to theater, as an audience member, an actor or stagehand,
greatly enriched the lives of all involved; and
Whereas, The Children's Theatre of Charleston was designated
in 1961, by a Gubernatorial Proclamation to be the official
Children's Theatre of West Virginia; and
Whereas, The Children's Theatre of Charleston continues to
foster the dream of Miss Sarah Spencer by celebrating its seventy-
fifth season of bringing art of theater to the child and the child
to the center of the theater experience; therefore, be it
Resolved by the Senate:
That the Senate hereby recognizes the Children's Theatre of
Charleston on its 75th anniversary; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Senate expresses to the Children's
Theatre of Charleston its best wishes for continued success as the
official children's theater of West Virginia, by fostering the
development, education and interest of children through the live
theater experience; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk is hereby directed to forward
a copy of this resolution to the appropriate officials of the
Children's Theatre of Charleston.
