Coincidentally, INC. learned Kerrigan, whose own popularity hasn't exactly soared in recent months, is scheduled to skate in the United Center with Campbell Soup's annual June tour of figure skate champs. We use the word "scheduled." Nancy was also supposed to perform in a Christmas show here that was canceled. Action-packed: Andrew Davis, who directed Harrison Ford in The Fugitive" and Steven Seagal in "Under Seige." is set to direct Keanu Reeves in "Dead Drop," an action thriller for Twentieth Century Fox. But before Davis tackles that project, the native Chicagoan is expected back in the Windy City to shoot several scenes for his next movie, "Steal Big, Steal Little," according to his spokesman.

"Steal Big," an action comedy for Savoy Pictures, is about two brothers battling over an inheritance and is expected to star Andy Garcia, with filming scheduled to begin in mid-February in Santa Barbara.

When she was with NBC-TV several years ago, Chung taped an interview with Knight in which he made a distasteful remark about rape. Afterward, By Richard Christiansen Tribune Chief Critic A few hours before Pegasus Players' ninth annual Young Playwrights Festival was to open Thursday night, the stage and house lights in the theater auditorium of Truman College went out and stayed out, despite efforts by building engineers to bring them back on.

Luckily, the same school building that houses the theater also contains a ly lighted gymnasium, and so, shortly be- Theater fore curtain time, the young actors, directors and designers of the festival carried their props and furniture onto the gym's basketball floor. With only a few minutes' delay, and with the sympathetic audience seated on the gym's bleachers, the festival began. There are three one-act plays in this year's lineup, chosen from 350 entries submitted by Chicago high school students, and, as Thursday evening's performance demonstrated, they can stand scrutiny under the most difficult circumstances. "Jane's Chair," by Colleen Shea, a 1994 graduate of St Ignatius College Prep, is a theatrically imaginative portrait of a young woman in the grips of manic depression. Jane, who insists on using the last name of Sunshine, sits front and center in her chair, talking directly to the audience about her turbulent life.

Two actors on either side of her portray different characters her abusive father, her bland therapist her female lover, her supportive boyfriend. Speaking matter of factly about such grim affairs as her mother's death by a drug overdose, Sunshine relates the tale of her descent into suicidal depression and of her subsequent ascent into a new self-confidence. The psychological journey that Shea has charted for her heroine makes for too pat and too easy a ride, but she has peopled the play with some interesting characters; and, under Gary Griffin's direction, Eve Moennig, as Sunshine, gives a very bright, believable portrayal that makes even the weakest lines sound strong. "Mi Barrio Loco," by Joseph Soto, an alumnus of Gage Park High School tells a familiar story of gang violence in the urban depths. The gang members of the play are proud and protective of their tight "family," and yet, as the play shows with concluding irony, this family, bound together in hatred and rage, can lead only to despair and isolation and the smashing of any possibility for building a real family.

Moving its melodrama quickly from one scene to the next in director Ralph Flores' staging, Soto's play suffered most from Thursday night's lack of stage lighting and setting; and its rough language, however authentic it may be in its use of gang slang, quickly turned repetitive. "Scout's Honor," by Alex Levy, a former student of the University of Chicago Lab School, is unusual among these young playwrights in his sweet sharply humorous treatment of the pangs of adolescence. In his perky playlet a boy and girl on a first date agonize with each other, and to the audience, about their awkward stabs at starting a relationship. They're nice, sweet persons, and so, surprisingly, is her construction worker father, who, when he unwittingly interrupts their tentative romancing, lovingly and amusingly pretends that he hasn't seen the boy dive for cover behind the sofa. Adroitly directed by Warner Crocker, the comedy features engaging performances by Jen Abrams and Stef Tovar as the young lovers and Andrew Carillo as her father.

By Kevin McKeough Special to the Tribune Veteran performers Bruce Springsteen and Bonnie Raitt along with newcomer Sheryl Crow, dominated nominations for the 37th annual Grammy Awards, as each received nominations in two of three top categories and five nominations overall. Pop star Elton John also picked up five nominations, including two for best song for his work on "The Lion King" soundtrack.

Producerwriter-performer Babyface, who dominated this year, got five nominations, three of them for best song. A diverse array of Chicagoans also received nominations, including the Chicago Symphony Orchestra; blues performers Otis Rush, Koko Taylor and Pops Staples; rocker Liz Phair, gospel performers Albertina Walker and Rev. Milton Branson; comedian Judy Tenuta; and polka fixture Eddie Blazonczyk. Notably missing from the list of local nominees was artist R. Kelly, whose "12 Play" record sold more than 4 million copies last year.

Nominations for the awards, to be presented in a live CBS-TV broadcast March 1 from Los Angeles, were announced Thursday by the National Academy of Recording Arts Sciences. Records released from Oct 1, 1993, to Sept 30, 1994, were eligible. Springsteen's "Streets of Philadelphia," from the soundtrack for the motion picture "Philadelphia," was nominated for record of the year and the songwriting award, song of the year. Crow's "All I Wanna Do," a hit single from her debut record "Tuesday Night Music Club," also was nominated in both categories. Raitt's "Love Sneakin' Up on You" and "Longing in Their Hearts" got nods for best record and album of the year.

Springsteen, who never has won in a major category, may benefit from the Grammy's tendency to make up for overlooking artists in the past And 33 years after Tony Bennett last won a major award, the crooner's "MTV Unplugged" earned him three nominations, including best album. Other nominees for the top awards included contemporary doo-wop quartet Boyz II Men's "I'll Make Love to You," and country artist Mary Chapin Carpenter's "He Thinks Hell Keep Her" for best record. Additional best album nominees Included Eric Clapton's "From the Cradle," Jos6 Can-eras, Placido Domingo and Luciano Pavarotti's "The 3 Tenors In Concert 1994" and, in a surprise, Seal's self-titled record. The significant representation of women and African-American artists among nominees in major categories suggested that the Grammys, long criticized for their stodginess, were making an effort to acknowledge the breadth and diversity of contemporary music. NARAS recognized the progressive soul music of Seal who received three nominations, and Me'Shell NdegeOcello, who captured four, and took note of second-generation California punk rockers Green Day, whose four nominations included best new artist The academy also restored the best female rock vocal category after protests followed its elimination last year.

Along with Raitt, Crow. Melissa Etheridge and Sam Phillips, Phair was nominated In this category for her song "Supernova." Yet there was, as ever, plenty about the nominations to quibble with, particularly the academy's overlooking R.E.M.'s "Monster" and Pearl Jam's Chung apparently realizing his mistake, the "Vs." in the best album category. Both releases were restricted to nominations as best rock album. In country, however. Carpenter fared well, receiving nods for best female country vocal performance, best country song, and best country album to go with her best record nomination.

Among blues nominees. Staples and Taylor will compete for best contemporary blues album, while Rush has unenviable competition from Clapton for best traditional blues album. In jazz, the nominations leaned toward legends and veterans. Singers Shirley Horn, Lena Home and Etta James dominated the jazz vocals category. Benny Carter took two nominations for jazz instrumentals; and Ray Barretto, Eddie Palmier! and Arturo Sandoval, as well as the late Mario Bauza, were nominated in the Latin jazz area.

Among younger jazz performers, Cassandra Wilson was nominated for best jazz vocalist But trumpeter Wyn-ton Marsalis, who in "94 released his best record ever, "In This HouseOn This Morning," was passed over. A Deutsche Grammophon disc of Bela Bart6k's Concerto for Orchestra and Four Orchestral Pieces, with the Chicago Orchestra conducted by Pierre Boulez, was nominated for best classical album and best orchestral performance. An Erato coupling of wind quintets by Beethoven and Mozart, featuring pianist Daniel Barenboim with members of the CSO and Berlin Philharmonic, is among the nominees for best chamber music performance. For the first time in years, CSO music director laureate Georg Solti was not nominated in any category.

Andsnes and Jarvi shine brilliant new light on familiar concerto Symphony By John von Rhein Tribune Musk Critic Among the rare pleasures of a critic's existence Is discovering a performance of a thrice-familiar work that casts its own light on the music without subjecting it to the glare of self-conscious eccentricity. Such a performance was Leif Ove Andsnes' of the Rachmaninov Piano Concerto No. 3 Thursday night at Orchestra Hall with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, Neeme Jarvi conducting. The composer famously remarked that he wrote the concerto "for some soloists espouse this elephantine view all too literally. If anything, the Norwegian pianist (who was making his subscription series debut having already appeared at Ravinia) leaped through Rachmaninov's thickets of notes rather corded the lighter, easier one), tossing off its massive chords as if they were no harder than a Hanon exercise.

The old warhorse galloped with renewed vigor, and Andsnes sounded as fresh and collected at its close as he did at its beginning. Orchestra Hall gave him a hero's reception. It all added up to some pretty terrific Rachmaninov, because this inordinately gifted young soloist didn't try to make a powerhouse impression; an artist such as he can trust the music to do that The rest of Jarvi's program looked at romanticism from American, German and Russian national perspectives. He began with the Intermezzo and "Under the Willow Tree." from Samuel Barber's opera "Vanessa." and ended with excerpts from Tchaikovsky's "The Snow Maiden" Incidental music. In between came Schumann's "Rhenish" Symphony.

Did it matter that neither the Barber nor Tchaikovsky pieces represent the composers at their most profound? The bittersweet tidbits from "Vanessa" reminded one of the durable appeal of Barber's retro-Puccini romanticism. Jarvi's affection for Tchaikovsky's neglected score (which he has recorded complete with his Detroit Symphony for Chandos) told in a reading filled with vivid splashes of Russian folk-color. The "Jester's Dance" probably could have been heard all the way in Vladivostok. To his credit the guest conductor was able to purge Schumann's notorious scoring of muddiness, and the finale brought a glowing sense of ceremonial pomp. 77k program will be repeated Friday, Saturday and Tuesday nights.

like a spirited young gazelle. His fleet fingers clearly delighted in the filigree of the Adagio's middle section and brought real lift and Impetus to the finale. Jarvi's accompaniment did much to enhance those very qualities. Andsnes brought an essentially lyrical approach to the surging Russian romanticism of the opening movement He made real music out of it his tone solid and extroverted, his technique more than equal to the music's fearsome demands but never calling attention to itself. Lest anyone accuse him of lacking daredevil-ry, however, he chose the weighty alternative cadenza (Rachmaninov himself re-.
