IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE
JULY 19, 2024
A NATIONWIDE EVENT
Presented by
WRITERS FOR DEMOCRATIC ACTION
& Our Partners Across America
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.
Thank you for joining us with your own production.
