This year’s Academy Awards recognized newcomers such as Ellen Page for her work in the movie “Juno.” In McKinney ISD, another acting newcomer was also honored for her work at this year’s Middle School University Interscholastic League One-Act Play Competition on Feb. 29.

“I won best actress for playing my role in ‘The Miracle Worker’ as Annie Sullivan,” said Megan Wiley, an Evans Middle School eighth-grader. Scott Johnson Middle School eighth-grader Myles Primm was named best actor for his portrayal of Cyrano de Bergerac.

“The Miracle Worker role was Megan’s first lead in a play — in her first year to take theater in school and her first UIL competition. She has attended some musical theater camps in the past.

“It was amazing,” Megan said. “I’m so excited. My legs were shaking because I never won something that big before.”

Megan said she fell in love with the play, which tells the story of Helen Keller and her relationship with Annie Sullivan.

“I love the fact since it was a true story and you get to act it out and be in the moment,” Megan said. “You become the character onstage so it’s an amazing feeling.”

It also didn’t hurt that Megan and Sullivan share the same heritage.

“I’m Irish, so the Irish accent was fun,” Megan said.

Megan credits her success in the play to the to the other cast members.

“It was fun working with everybody in the cast,” Megan said.

Like the Academy Awards, which honored veteran actors such as Hal Holbrook for “Into the Wild,” the UIL One-Act Play Competition, also honored veteran theater students such as Myles, who has been in theater since sixth grade.

“It was pretty exciting,” Myles said. “At first, I got nervous. A lot of people in our group were getting awards, and I was just sitting there.”

Like Megan, Myles also got into his character of the long-nosed romantic poet/soldier.

“I kind of have a personal connection to him,” Myles said. “He’s a leader and very strong. It was easy to get into his shoes and play this character.”

Getting into character was a daunting task for Myles, who had to wear a fake nose.

“At first, it was really tough because the spirit gum [face glue] was irritating my face,” Myles said.

Myles said doing “Cyrano de Bergerac” was a pleasant change since most of the plays this year have been comedies.

“It was serious and we’ve been doing a lot of comedies so that was different for us,” Myles said.

Other McKinney ISD middle school students were honored at the UIL One-Act Play Competition.

Dowell Middle School students Luke Penny and Josh Starrett received honorable mentions for their work in “Skinflints and Scoundrels: Molere’s Miser.” Sarah Barr and Tyler Hook from Evans took honorable mentions for “The Miracle Worker.” Faubion Middle School students Adam Nelson and Heidi Wilzbach received honorable mention awards for “Governing Alice.” And Sean Dunn and Mackenzie Schulien from Scott Johnson Middle School received honorable mentions for their work in “Cyrano de Bergerac.”

Receiving all-star cast honors were Dowell’s Holly Roberts and Harrison Santiago; Evans’ Truett Harris and Madison Mercado; Faubion’s Emma Pendergast and Andrew Wilson; and Scott Johnson’s Alex Ammons and Caroline Upchurch.

Todd Turner was last spotted in Cleveland, Ohio wearing a trench coat, fake nose, and dark sunglasses. He is expected to surface by the end of the week with his choice for the next women's Husky basketball head coach. I guess you could say that this is week three of "Subterranean Todd".

We aren't sure who the next coach will be, but we are pretty sure who it isn't going to be. I still think Semrau, and Marciniak are the leading contenders.

CAREY SHOCKED OVER FAKE NOSE

MARIAH CAREY almost pulled out of her new film TENNESSEE after learning director AARON WOODLEY planned to use prosthetics to make her look ugly.

The pop superstar stepped in to play waitress Krystal when Janet Jackson quit the film, but was shocked when she learned she'd have to wear a fake nose for the part.

A film insider tells the New York Daily News Carey was also required to don fake bushy eyebrows in the new film.

The source says, "Mariah is the nicest person to work with - everyone loves her. But she was uncomfortable at being made ugly for the part.

"When she saw the nose, she called her people and decided against it (starring in the film). She wasn't a diva about it, but she did seem very insecure about her appearance."

But Carey's determination to star in a hit movie got the better of her - and she quickly agreed to do whatever was necessary to get the film made.

The Oscar-winning actress was forced to dance to disco music, show off her best modelling poses and flirt with a man dressed as an elephant to prove to Harvard University's Hasty Pudding Theatricals troupe she was a worthy Woman of the Year.

She laughed: "The only challenge today was trying to keep the amount of liquor down that they were feeding me. I did about 74 shots!"

Each year the troupe - America's oldest undergraduate drama group - choose a woman and man of the year, who they feel best exhibit role model qualities.
