Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Miami Childrens Theater on its 20th anniversary as an invaluable education center for children and young adults in our south Florida community. I would like to recognize its outstanding leadership team, including their executive producing director and founder, Angela Ardolino. Originally an after-school program at the Coral Gables Youth Center, located in my congressional district, it was Angela's efforts and strategic vision that transformed this prominent center into what it is today. Miami Childrens Theater was the first children's theater in the Nation to be granted rights to the student edition of Les Miserables. More importantly, children and young adults from all over the community are given the opportunity to explore the arts and expand on their creativity both on stage and in classes. It is my honor and privilege to recognize the Miami Childrens Theater and wish all of the members the best as they work toward the next 20 years of service to our south Florida community. Honoring the Epilepsy Foundation of Florida
