MIDNIGHT ON A MONDAY to Have World Premiere Production at Midtown International Theatre Festival July 20

A subway platform proves a fascinating setting for this relationship comedy about the bond formed between two strangers - a struggling sitcom writer and a subway kiosk owner. After midnight, these women from different worlds connect in fascinating and poignant ways.

Midnight on a Monday is the 2014 winner of the Playwrights Guild of Canada/Toronto Fringe Festival's Twenty-Four Hour Play Writing Contest. After a staged reading at Toronto's highly esteemed Tarragon Theatre, Midnight on a Monday will be making its world premiere in New York this July as part of the Midtown International Theatre Festival. Featuring Tania Kass and the playwright herself, Katie Housley, under the leadership of award-winning director, Kathy Gail MacGowan.

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!

Midnight on a Monday will be performed at The WorkShop Theater's Jewel Box Theatre July 20th at 7:45, July 22nd at 6:00, and July 24th at 3:45. For tickets, visit: https://web.ovationtix.com/trs/cal/27845
