In 1936, It Can’t Happen Here, a stage adaptation by Sinclair Lewis of his own bestselling novel, opened simultaneously on 21 stages in 17 states across America on October 27th, one week before that year’s presidential election. It served as a warning against the rise of fascism in America. It Can’t Happen Here – Again, by Writers for Democratic Action, is both an homage to the 1936 production and a call to action now, in 2024. Come join us and bring friends for this short adaptation and a brief discussion following the performance. Voter registration materials and assistance will be provided. This program is co-sponsored by Reclaim Our Democracy. Join us for a fun and thought-provoking evening.
