Guilford Center Stage concludes its 2019 season with a production of a stage adaptation of “It Can’t Happen Here,” by Sinclair Lewis, who wrote the novel at his Barnard, Vermont home in 1935. Richard Wizansky directs the Guilford production, using the stage adaptation by Taccone & Cohen.

The play is set in a fictional Vermont town. Against the backdrop of the rise of fascism in Europe, a demagogue is elected President of the United States after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and “traditional” values.
