How do you weave togetherness and understanding in a "warm" way ... knit scarves?

Warmth is a quirky comedy about a young woman who volunteers at a Holocaust charity at which scarves are made for those who rescued Jews during World War II. What makes it even more fascinating is that this is an autobiographical tale.

Diana Rissetto's very personal story has been highly celebrated outside of New York:

· Finalist, 2014 New Jersey Playwrights Contest

· Sold-out and extended run, Grange Playhouse, Howell, NJ

· Performed as a fundraiser, garnering $25,000 for the Jewish Federation of Southern NJ

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.
