This award was given to the productions Keep on Truckin' - It's War and Erotomania, in a tie. Producers Awards- This monetary award is awarded to the producers who sell the most tickets and engage in the most inventive marketing, presented by MITF Executive Producer John Chatterton.

The MITF s 2012 season ran from July 16 August 5, 2012 at the June Havoc Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, 1st floor and the Dorothy Strelsin Theatre, 312 W. 36th Street, 1st floor. Mr. 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. 36 th St., where it has been successfully ensconced since. The MITF s artistic emphasis is on the script itself, and therefore the Festival focuses on minimal production values. For more information, visit ###
