About Alex Stout

BFA in Musical Theatre at Texas Christian University

As a student at Texas Christian University pursuing my BFA in Musical Theatre, I know firsthand the importance of arts education. As a result of my active involvement in the arts throughout high school, I was able to benefit immensely from an increase in oral language skills, public speaking, and move on to get a college education. Arts education is something that is near and dear to my heart and I hope that every child is able to reap the benefits that this stimulating education provides. With impending government defunding for the National Endowement for the Arts, students in public schools are at risk of having their arts education ripped away from them. I hope that after reading how important an education in the arts is, you will strive to petition for the best education possible fo your student- an education that integrates art education into the daily curriculum.
