iTheatre Saratoga presents: A World Premiere play reading IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE
Adapted by Mary Jane Hansen
from the 1930s novel by Sinclair Lewis Friday, June 26 & Saturday, June 27, 2026 at 7:00 PM
Saratoga Arts 320 Broadway in Saratoga Springs, New York
ITheatre Saratoga / The Creative Place presents IT CAN’T HAPPEN HERE, 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.
A $10 donation made online guarantees you a seat. Reserve your seat at the link below.
