Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 10th anniversary of the Oxford Performing Arts Center.

Located at 100 Choccolocco Street in Oxford, Alabama, the building which houses the Oxford Performing Arts Center was once home to a school and then a city hall before becoming vacant for decades. Construction began in 2011 to restore the building to its former glory.

Over its 10 years in existence, the Oxford Performing Arts Center has hosted a wide range of musical and dramatical genres. Just as diverse as its musical and dramatical genres are the performers that come from all around the world to play at the Oxford Performing Arts Center, having hosted an international musical competition in 2022 with another schedule for August of 2023. Statistics show that it is the busiest stage in Alabama.

I am proud to congratulate the people of Oxford for reaching such a historic milestone. Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognizing the Oxford Performing Arts Center for its 10th anniversary, and I hope that this institution will continue to serve the patrons of Alabama and around the world for many years to come.
