Presented by The Impostors Theatre Co.
Our treasured anthology series returns for its seventh installment. Footholds is a collaborative journey between The Impostors Theatre Co. and local artists.
Each year, we challenge writers to submit a short play for us to produce. By introducing a single, ambiguous constraint–a thread that runs through each accepted piece–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 narrow, weathered bridge (not safe for driving) where visitors must pay tolls–symbolic or literal–for passage. Engraving its aged wood are initials and messages, evidence of visitors past.
The Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host Footholds Vol. 7 on June 4-13, 2026 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.
Tickets are currently available at thedentheatre.com or by calling (773) 697-3830.
