Young playwrights learn how plays go from page to stage

Post Gazette: "Two winners and one semifinalist in City Theatre's 2007 Young Playwrights Contest are from the northern suburbs. Margaret Saunders, an eighth-grader at Christ the Divine Teacher Academy in Aspinwall, won one of the three awards in the middle school division for her play, 'Art Smarts.' Olivia O'Conner, a junior at Knoch High School, won one of the three high school awards for her play, 'To Catch a Fish.' This is the second year in a row that Olivia has won the award, and she was a semifinalist in 2005. Emma Neely, who also attends Knoch High School, was a semifinalist this year for her play, 'An Illusion,' which received a staged reading at City Theatre."
