New York – John Chatterton’s series of theatre festivals are rapidly becoming the preeminent location for quality stage works in New York. His monthly short play labs create unlimited opportunities for young artists as well as theatergoers; the venerable Midtown International Theatre Festival is a New York tradition; and the now-five-year-old MIDWINTER MADNESS SHORT PLAY FESTIVAL welcomes the new year with a gaggle of brilliant bits under an hour.
