The Midtown International Theatre Festival (July 15-August 4) now in its 14th year, celebrates the diversity of theatre.
Every summer (starting in 2000) in midtown Manhattan, the Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF) celebrates the diversity of theatre in New York City and beyond.
We emphasize imaginative, low-tech staging. But putting on a play in a festival burgeoning with many other shows – in only a handful of theatres – means tight organization, both in the Festival and among the participants. We have sufficient caring, paid staff to keep the trains running on time. We are truly the Festival That Cares. In addition to offering a safe environment to develop innovative theatre, the MITF is devoted to keeping costs for participants down, starting with such benefits as 20 hours’ FREE rehearsal space for full-length shows, FREE storage, FREE showcase insurance, and more.
The Festival proudly presents productions of over 50 plays and several musicals from companies across the country and around the globe representing a fantastic, often paradoxical, adventurous and intriguing cross-secton of the forefront of the theatre world.
The theatres hosting the festival are: The Abington Arts Complex, the Workshop Theatres & the Barrow Group all located at 312 West 36th St.
