Original Toronto Star caption: Here; chickee; chickee: Kidsfest is on its way. Roy Higgins of harbourfront and Christopher Wootten of Vancouver East Cultural Centre; co-artistic directors of the Firstbank Toronto International Children's Festival May 18-26; are auditioning a chicken. Yes; a chicken. They say it's for a clown show called Pepe. And the chicken has to be able to project. Box office for the festival opened Saturday and 51 per cent of the tickets; $3 each; have already gone to Ontario schools.
