Texas Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison sent her warm greetings via a letter and a video record, wishing the audience members of DPA an enjoyable experience viewing the rich Chinese culture.
“The richness and diversity of the Chinese culture, as preserved and extended in the United States, are great treasures to be shared by all of our citizens. I commend the performers of the 2009 Divine Performing Arts for contributing to efforts to familiarize the Western world with traditional Chinese values,” said Senator Hutchison in a letter.
Senator Hutchison has been in office since 1993. At that time, she was the only woman elected to the Texas Senate. Among her numerous achievements, she was named one of the 30 most powerful women in America by Ladies Home Journal in 2001.
Texas State Representative Paula Pierson was astounded after watching DPA in 2008 at the Nokia Theatre in Grand Prairie, Texas. She welcomed DPA as “a joy to have them in our great state once again,” and highly recommends the show to everyone.
“Everything about this production is beautiful and moving, from the dancers to the music and the costumes. The artists who perform in The Divine Performing Arts Tour are nothing short of spectacular. I highly recommend this production knowing those who attend will not leave disappointed.”
Some greetings also came as proclamations.
Texas Senator Royce West and Secretary of Senate Patsy Spaw together praised DPA for its celebration of “the excellence and grandeur" of classical Chinese dance and music, inspired from myths, legends, and beauty of 5,000 years of traditional Chinese culture, its live orchestra and unique use of background scenery, costumes, choreography, and outstanding artists.
Throughout the Dallas-Fort Worth area, the City of Carrollton has the greatest population of Chinese and as in prior years, Mayor Ronald Branson has not forgotten to wish DPA well.
“DPA seeks to breathe new life into traditional Chinese culture and to provide an experience of sublime beauty [and should be] commended for their achievements in rediscovering the traditional cultural art of China.”
Those from all walks of life, including artists, scholars, politicians, and businessmen, all praised the show highly.
“It seeks to produce an art that is not only rich, relevant, and inspiring, but also one that offers audiences of all ages a rare experience of consummate beauty and goodness,” said Mayor Branson in a proclamation.
According to the presenting organizations, more than a dozen public greetings have been received, and more are said to be on the way.
