It Can't Happen Here

WHO: Artists gathering from Durham/Chapel Hill, North Carolina
WHAT: A zoom live-stream adaptation of Sinclair Lewis's 1936 play It Can't Happen Here.
WHEN: October 18, 7 p.m.
HOW: Make a donation through ActBlue link here 
WEBSITE: www.itcanthappenhere.net 

It Can't Happen Here  tells the story of the fascist takeover of the United States by a democratically elected president. It was a cautionary tale in 1936 when Lewis adapted it from his novel with John Moffat. 

Today, the play is chillingly resonant.

Gather with your quarantine circle, your friends, your class, your book club, your political action group to watch this historic play.   Then we'll have a conversation with historian Tim Tyson to talk about theater, history, and how to mobilize in this historical moment.

It can't happen here if we don't let it happen here.

This GoFundMe supports only our production costs and will not generate a livestream link.

But, “Hell, they’ve got to eat just like other people!” Harry Hopkins famously said of actors at the dawn of the Roosevelt Administrations Federal Theatre Project (1935-39).

We still do! If you donate here you will earn gratitude in our hearts forever. Donate to our ActBlue site above to get the link and then come back here and donate to support production tech costs.

We love you! Thank you!
