In its fourth installment, Footholds intertwines The Impostors Theatre Co.'s unique vision with local voices. Footholds is an anthology series written by playwrights from across the Chicagoland community. Ensemble members conceived the idea in reaction to one of the most frustrating and intimidating villains an artist can face: a blank page. A blank canvas allows for infinite possibilities, but this can sometimes act as a hindrance. With no definitive starting point, it can be difficult to realize a final product. By introducing a single, ambiguous constraint, a crack in the block of marble, we ask our writers and collaborators to start with the same limitation and branch off wherever their imaginations take them.
This year's foothold: a small trolley car-coming, going, or stationed at an unanticipated stop.
The plays:
Anything From The Trolley? by Toni Flowers-McElrath, directed and choreographed by Anna Roemer
Narrative Machine Broke by Alex Fortune, directed by Caitlin McManus
Marketplace Mama by Kevin Blair, directed by Courtney Marie
Mechanicals by Juliet Kang Huneke, directed by Rachel Borgo
Panopticon by Alex Dumitru, directed by Directing Ensemble
The cast of Footholds Vol. 4 features Maria Clara Ospina, Imani Lyvette, Philip J. Macaluso, David Blakeman, Jermaine Jenkins, Cee Scallen, and Tessa Marie Hoffman playing an ensemble of characters across all five plays.
Following Footholds Vol. 4, The Impostors Theatre Company's fourth season will conclude with their annual end-of-season fundraiser to celebrate the success of past seasons and announce what's to come.
