ERT - It Can't Happen Here - Again
A NATIONWIDE EVENT
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 as well as a call to action now, in 2024, with 62 readings across 22 states!
WRITERS RESIST!
Cast includes Dagney Ernest, Andrea Itkin, Jan Zimmerman, Beverly Scott, and Jim Reitz.
This staged reading will be presented in the Barn at Barnswallow, 166 Russell Ave. in Rockport. This is a free event but donations will gladly be accepted for the Maine League of Women Voters non-profit organization.
