Chatterton has entered into agreements with the American Theatre of Actors to provide its entire complex of theatres to house the large-scale event and partnered with Jay Michaels Global Communications and Channel Indie to spearhead promotion and provide worldwide coverage of the event.

The original MITF, established in 2000 by Chatterton ran for 18 successful seasons before its hiatus in 2018. MITF quickly became a respected and highly visible platform for independent theatre, even pioneering a festival model of theater rental and shared box office revenue that continues to influence theatre festivals today.
