The Impostors Theatre Co. concludes their sixth season with Footholds Vol. 6, an anthology play written by the Chicagoland community and directed by Executive Director Rachel Borgo!

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

Olivia Buntaine's World Premiere adaptation, "MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA" rips open Euripides’ tragedy to reveal the woman beneath the legend—powerful, divine, and dangerously overlooked. In this bold new adaptation Medea is no longer just the scorned woman history remembers but a force of nature wrestling with the impossible: self versus sacrifice, revenge versus righteousness, being right versus doing right. With razor-sharp, poetic language that invites rather than alienates, “MEDEAMEDEAMEDEA” dismantles the villain narrative, igniting the stage with fire, fury, and humanity.
