The Storm is a tragic story about an unhappily married woman named Ekaterina. Her mother-in-law is cruel and dominating; her husband, Tihon, is weak-willed and loves his mother much more than his wife. Worse still, her best friend does not understand her. One day, she meets a man named Boris and falls in love with him. It is possible for them to be happy, but being unfaithful is a sin for Ekaterina. Tormented by her conscience, she confesses her love to her family and kills herself.

Starting with their Autumn Arts, the Midtown International Theatre Festival will also serve as a place for artists emerging from colleges and special programs to enter into the professional world with abundant support from an experienced artistic and academic advisory. Now, established professionals and the next generation can join in.

While the skyline currently glitters with theatre festivals, there was a time when the Midtown International Theatre Festival was one of only two! John Chatterton has set the gold standard for presenting new and exciting independent theatrical works in New York.
