MITF takes you on a marvelous adventure with De Profundis, a story of a mermaid who longs for sound. She pushes through the barrier between the ocean and the atmosphere, takes human form, and tells a tale of love and loss that spans the course of two centuries. Weaving together the past and the present, the eclectic cast of characters includes an inventor who loved a costume designer; a mysterious seashell collector; and a pair of young lovers on the island ... of Staten. And don't forget the enchanted mirror that reveals things they are not ready to let go. The play was first conceived during Exquisite Corpse Company's Writer's Lab in April 2016, and had its first public reading in May 2016.
Starting with their Autumn Arts, the Midtown International Theatre Festival will also serve as a place for artists emerging from colleges and special programs to enter into the professional world with abundant support from an experienced artistic and academic advisory. Now, established professionals and the next generation can join in.
While the skyline currently glitters with theatre festivals, there was a time when the Midtown International Theatre Festival was one of only two! John Chatterton has set the gold standard for presenting new and exciting independent theatrical works in New York.
