Don’t be the idiot who can’t rattle off her name when this Chicago-based playwright (and Wilmette native) becomes the it-chick of the national scene. Barely peeking out from her mid-twenties, she is a writer with a hugely appealing frank style. (So far best evidenced in “Diversey Harbor,” which debuted last spring in a production by Theatre Seven.) For the last time, people: It’s Wegrzyn, rhymes with “Beg-her-sin.”
