In this play, Edith Wilson recalls how President Woodrow Wilson passionately pursued her in the White House, proposing marriage after a few short weeks. She became his closest adviser, but later had to conceal his stroke from the country and Congress while she took over running the government. Running just before election day, this play resonates loud and clear.

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.
