In its sixth installment, Footholds continues the collaborative journey between The Impostors Theatre Co. and local artists.

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 lamp-lit alley, fringing the noise—before, during, or after the party.
The setting of your play must take place within this alley.

The deadline for Footholds submissions is Monday, January 27th by 11:59pm
