the award for best lead actor and Ryan Esparza, who portrayed Adolfo

WHEREAS, The district was also proudly represented by Klein
Collins High School, whose Once Upon a Mattress earned nods in the
categories for best scene design, costume design, and orchestra,
Klein Forest High School, whose In the Heights was nominated for
best orchestra, and Klein Oak High School, whose Curtains was
nominated for best costume design, orchestra, and choreography and
whose student Grace Nardecchia was included in the best supporting
actress category; and
WHEREAS, Through their inspired work, cast and crew members
from Klein ISD have furthered the district's tradition of
theatrical excellence, and they may indeed reflect with justifiable
pride on their outstanding accomplishments; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas
Legislature hereby congratulate the Klein Independent School
District on its fine showing at the Theatre Under the Stars 2017
