Tomorrow Lampasas Theatre will participate in the UIL District One Act Play competition in Liberty Hill. The show is called ¨Still Life with Iris,” and focuses on the adventures of the title character, a young girl named Iris.

Feb. 25 theatre performed their play for the public.

¨The show is about a little girl who lives in the town where they create everything in the world – they paint flowers and put spots on bugs,¨ senior and cast member Mckenzie Mclendon said. ¨She’s the best at finding things and is chosen to live with the rulers of the town, but she escapes from the palace to find her way back home.¨

 For seniors, this will be the last play of their high school career, which makes the experience even more emotional and bittersweet.

¨It´s hard to think about this being my last show, because this is all I’ve known throughout high school, but I´m super excited for this season¨ senior and cast member Kenzie Peacock said. ¨I have kind of decided to just have fun this year and just enjoy the ride one last time.¨

The importance of family is emphasized as one of the main themes of the play, which helps the cast connect to the work in a more personal way.

¨I love getting to do this as my last show, because the storyline showcases how important family is and that´s exactly what theater is to me,¨ Mclendon said. ¨I also love the fairytale feeling the show creates! It´s so pretty to watch and be apart of.¨
