The 34th Young Playwrights Festival
Online Stream
The season continues with our professional production of winning plays from the annual playwriting competition for high-school-age scribes in Chicago. Three one-act plays will be showcased in tandem. The second oldest such festival in the country, this annual tradition regularly receives over 500 submissions from students throughout the area. From those, the winning playwrights are chosen to join with professional artists to workshop and stage their scripts.
"...As you'd expect, this year's festival is an online experience created in peoples' homes, although Pegasus still has managed to give all three of its winning writers full digital productions in collaboration with a professional director (Reshmi Hazra Rustebakke, Alex Levy and artistic director ILesa Duncan are on the team) and cast (Josh Bernaski, John Drea, Gabriel Fries, Nastacia Guimont, James Lewis, Victor Musoni and Vinithra Raj make up the ensemble). This was no easy challenge, given the lack of big production budgets and the need to cut individually filmed segments into scenes with several characters." Read Full Review
