Young playwrights hit the mark at Pegasus festival

Chicago Sun-Times: Fairy tales, whether by the Brothers Grimm, Hans Christian Andersen or L. Frank Baum, have been a rich source of material for a slew of variations by subsequent artists. But you really have to hand it to Clare McKitterick, a student at Lane Tech College Prep, whose “Fears for Fairytales” is one of the three prize-winning plays in the Chicago Young Playwrights Festival. The program, now in its 27th season selects the one-acts of three Chicago area high school students for professional productions and awards of $500 each.
