Deni Rutland has spent a lifetime trying to escape her dysfunctional family, with little success. Now, on the occasion of her 40th birthday, she is making one last attempt at freedom. Will an explosive family celebration finally push her through the door, or will the twisted ties that bind pull her under even further? Featuring Mimi Bessette*, Courtney Bess*, Kathleen Clancy*, Ken Perlstein*, and Joseph Rose*. (*Member, AEA)

Either/Or was a top three finalist play with the Moondance International Festival. Most recently it was read as part of Theatre for the New City's Scratch Night program; this MITF:Summer production represents its world premiere presentation.

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 helped set the gold standard for presenting new and exciting independent theatrical works in New York. This year - with a booming variety section, a prominently-placed Short Play Lab, a burgeoning Short Film Lab, nearly 60 productions - with a record number of musical presentations (including an opera) - as well as an astounding number of international works, the 17th Annual Midtown International Theatre Festival once again proves itself to be one of the best reasons to stay in New York in July!
