MITF Mission Statement

        The Midtown International Theatre Festival (MITF) celebrates the diversity of theatre in New York City and abroad. MITF welcomes theatrical storytelling across a broad spectrum of genres, forms, identities, cultures, and appetites.   MITF seeks to nurture these new ideas, perspectives, and stories on its stages, with an eye set on guiding these productions toward future success and longevity. The festival represents a fantastic, often paradoxical, adventurous, and intriguing cross-section of the theatre community.  The MITF proudly hosts production companies from across the country and around the globe, uniting talent in one of the biggest theatre capitals in the world.
