The Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF)’s fourteenth season will include a slate of full-length plays and musicals, as well as Short Subjects. The Festival will run from July 15 to August 4, 2013, at the June Havoc Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, NYC, 1st floor; the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, NYC, 1st floor; the Main Stage Theater, 312 W. 36th Street, NYC, 4th floor; and the Jewel Box Theater, 312 W. 36th Street, NYC, 4th floor. Tickets are $15 for short plays and $18 for longer plays. Tickets are available at www.midtownfestival.org or by phone at (866) 811-4111. The Festival also offers various group discounts and package passes, good for full-length and short plays.<\/p>\n
The lineup represents submissions in all genres. Nonmusical plays run 45-90 minutes; musicals may go as long as two hours.<\/p>\n
John Chatterton, MITF executive producer, said he’s thrilled about this year’s Festival. “It’s nearly double the size of last year, and ticket sales are taking off early. I think the reason is that, with all this whining about the economy, we decided to hand out a lot of stuff (free rehearsal space, storage, insurance…) to encourage people to produce shows in the Festival. Whatever the reason, both quantity and quality seem to be brimming over this year.”<\/p>\n
Mr. Chatterton created the MITF in 2000, a Midtown alternative to other theatre festivals, as a way to present the finest Off-Off Broadway talent in convenience, comfort, and safety. In 2003, the MITF moved its activities to their current location, the Theatre Building on W. 36th St., where it has been successfully ensconced since. In 2008 the Festival expanded from two theatres in that building to four, at the WorkShop Theater Company and Abingdon Theatre Company spaces. The MITF’s artistic emphasis is on the script itself, and therefore the Festival focuses on effective but minimal production values.<\/p>\n
