LCM High School advanced to the Region III Finals from the Region III Area 2 Contest on Saturday, April 1 for a chance to appear that the UIL One Act Play Conference 4A State Meet with their play The Miracle Worker. Award winners for the Area contest were as follows: Outstanding Technician: Emily Warner; Honorable Mention All-Star Cast: Kaylee Pattillo; All-Star Cast: Connor Alexander & Sydney Smith; Best Actress: Tyler Regan.

The play is the true story of a wild and animalistic blind, deaf, and dumb Helen Keller (played by Sydney Smith) as a young girl and her teacher Annie Sullivan (portrayed by Tyler Regan) who teaches Helen and her family how to communicate.

The play also deals with how Annie helps the family to cope with Helen’s handicap, but is met with much resistance from Helen’s father, Captain Keller (played by Chandler Peveto).

Kate Keller (played by Kaylee Pattillo), Helen’s mother, is hopeful that Annie can help her, but is worried about Annie’s methods.

Captain Keller’s cynical son, James Keller (played by Connor Alexander) also stands in the way, but realizes that Annie is this family’s best hope to help Helen.
