Join us for a celebratory evening of giving in support of SEASON EIGHT.

For seven seasons, The Impostors Theatre Company has cultivated a mission to stage stories at the crossroads of retrospect and innovation, where the fantastic collides with the everyday. Over those seven seasons, we have produced twenty entirely original works, making our commitment to new material a cornerstone of the ensemble’s vision. In these stories, we examine the narratives we construct and those that emerge unexpectedly; the tension between control and surrender; the ways memory and time reshape identity; and the increasingly blurred boundary between reality and fantasy.

Fascinated by the people who carry our stories when we no longer can—and by the courage it takes to entrust those stories to others—The Impostors can’t wait to dig into the weeds and tend to the ever-growing art of pretend.

For the 2026-2027 season, The Impostors will perform out of our resident home at The Den Theatre. Thematically, this season explores the idea of Impressionism—not simply as an artistic movement, but as a way of understanding how we experience the world. Impressionism is concerned with emotional truth: the feeling an image, memory, or moment evokes rather than an objective record of reality.

What impression do we leave behind? How does the perception of who we are change after we are gone and no longer able to shape it ourselves? How do time, circumstance, and experience transform the way we see others and ourselves?
