Debbie Lannen's A VOICE IN MY HEAD to Play MITF, 7/29-8/4

By:

The Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival presents A Voice In My Head by playwright Debbie Lannen at the Jewel Box Theatre 312 West 36th Street, New York, NY. The production runs: Monday, July 29, 2013 at 8:30pm, Thursday, August 1, 2013 at 6:45pm, and Sunday, August 4, 2013 at 12:45pm.

Secrets, lies and Snickers - where can this all lead? For playwright / director Debbie Lannen, husband Joe Lannen, and Detroit actress Ashley Shamoon it has lead to New York City and the opportunity to present at the Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival.

"I knew about the festival and thought it would be a great way for the New York theatre goers to see the talent that I have witnessed since I first auditioned Ashley when she was 7 years old. She is now a graduate from Wayne State University's theatre program and ready to continue her professional career outside of the Detroit area." said Ms. Lannen. "The play is based on some actual events swirling within my own life mixed with humor and compassion".

A Voice in My Head will be Ms. Lannen's first play to be produced at the Midtown International Festival.

The Jewel Box Theatre is located at 312 West 36th Street, New York, NY 10018. Due to limited seating advance tickets are recommended. Tickets are available at: www.midtownfestival.org.

The Midtown InterNational Theatre Festival's 2013 Season runs from July 15 - August 4, 2013 at the June Havoc Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, 1st floor; the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, 1st floor; the Main Stage Theater, 312 W. 36th Street, 4th floor; and the Jewel Box Theater, 312 W. 36th Street, 4th floor.

John Chatterton created the MITF in 2000, a Midtown alternative to other theatre festivals, as a way to present the finest Off-Off Broadway talent in convenience, comfort, and safety. In 2003, the MITF moved its activities to their current location, the Theatre Building on W. 36th St., where it has been successfully ensconced since. In 2008 the Festival expanded from two theatres in that building to four, at the WorkShop Theater Company and Abingdon Theatre Company spaces. The MITF's artistic emphasis is on the script itself, and therefore the Festival focuses on effective but minimal production values.
