The Impostors Theatre Company presents the world-premiere of the dark, twisted fairytale — Beyond the Garden Gate, written by Mallory Swisher and directed by Stefan Roseen. [April 12 – April 27, 2024 at The Den Theatre, 1331 N Milwaukee Ave, Chicago, IL 60622]

“The liminal spaces are where all magic whispers and warps.”

Two sisters come of age listening to the simultaneously comforting and unsettling fairytales their grandmother tells them. Now adults, the sisters are living through Grandma’s stories once again — this time in a very unexpected and real way.
When Maeve moves in with their grandmother, ostensibly to care for her ailing health, her younger sister Kat learns that Maeve has become entrenched in solving the mystery at the heart of the stories they always took for fantasy. As Grandma’s health continues to deteriorate, Maeve becomes convinced that defeating the curse echoed throughout the fairytale will restore her Grandma’s vitality.

Venturing into the world hidden beneath the garden at the edges of their backyard, Kat will follow her sister down the rabbit hole to the depths of the darkest fairytale. There, they face the darkness encroaching and the darkness within.

The cast of Beyond the Garden Gate features Jaclyn Jensen as The Morrigan, with Maria Clara Ospina as Katherine (Kat), Eliana Deckner-Glick as Maeve, Hilary Sanzel as Grandmother, Jasmine Robertson as The Watcher, Annika Andersson as The Musician/Fey, and Sam Martin, Whitney Ann Bates, Antonio Cruz, and Mikayla De Guzman as The Fey.
