The 24th Annual Young Playwrights Festival presented by Pegasus Players at Truman College- O'Rourke Theatre

Chicago Sun Times - Recommended

"...This year's trio of top plays by Chicago area high school students (selected from a record 803 entries) are variously mystical, comical and psychological."

Chicago Reader - Somewhat Recommended

"...The adult cast bring energy and artistry to the sometimes flat plays, so you don't have to be a teacher or relative to enjoy the show."

Windy City Times - Somewhat Recommended

"...the three plays are decidedly different from one another indicating the three young writers each possess distinctive voices. Right now, their grasp of literary tools is more advanced than the depth of their storytelling ( not unexpected in writers of limited life experience ) , yet all three plays exhibit energy and charm. Bonamici and Lee both deliver some good laughs, while Blackburn's impressionistic work draws upon poetic structures to create a piece in which the chief character is represented by multiple voices and a chorus."

Time Out Chicago - Recommended

"...In its 24th year of soliciting short plays from Chicago high-school students, Pegasus’s Young Playwrights Festival received more than 800 entries. The three chosen as winners, staged with care by professional directors, designers and actors, show raw promise and a remarkable range."

"...These three teen writers sure are promising talents with sophisticated storytelling ideas filled with unique fresh voices. Let’s hope that they keep developing because they are off to a fine start. These three plays are excellent."

Chicago Theater Beat - Recommended

"...The three works that comprise Pegasus Players‘ 24th Annual Young Playwrights Festival offer unique views on youth, mortality, and abuse, and were all written by high school students. Aided by professional writing mentors, the playwrights are given the opportunity to see their ideas take shape under the guidance of some of the city’s top directing, acting, and design talent. The results are positive across the board, but like any group of adolescents, maturity varies from script to script"
