IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE
A world premiere play reading
adapted by Mary Jane Hansen
from the novel by Sinclair Lewis

IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE is a cautionary tale about the rise of fascism in the United States. During the presidential election of 1936, Doremus Jessup, a small town newspaper editor, observes with dismay that many of the people he knows support the candidacy of the demagogue Berzelius Windrip. When Windrip wins the election, he forcibly gains control of Congress and the Supreme Court and, with the aid of his personal paramilitary storm troopers, turns America into a totalitarian state.
