MITF Becomes Year-Round Program; November 2015 Lineup Set!

The Midtown International Theatre Festival is becoming a year-round program!

Prolific producer John Chatterton's Midtown International Theatre Festival is now a series of three lavish events every year -- Autumn, Spring, and Summer -- presenting powerful works from around the world.

As it steadily approaches 20 years as one of the most respected arts festivals, the Midtown International will continue to present quality live theatre and musicals as well as a series of cutting-edge short plays, cabaret, vaudeville and burlesque style entertainment.

Mr. Chatterton, in an attempt to help pass the torch, has created "Next Generation," a board of educators and teaching artists who create and offer opportunities for college students and the recently graduated to work in the professional theatre.
