Photo Flash: First Look at Foothill College of Theatre Arts' IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE
A populist candidate, promising to return the country to greatness, becomes president of the United States, and then all hell breaks loose in It Can't Happen Here, a new play based on Sinclair Lewis' eerily prescient 1935 novel, adapted for the stage by Tony Taccone and Bennett S. Cohen. Foothill Theatre Arts presents It Can't Happen Here, directed by Bruce McLeod, for three weeks only, now through November 19, 2017 at the Lohman Theatre, on the Foothill College Campus (at the bottom of the hill), 12345 El Monte Road, Los Altos Hills. BroadwayWorld has a first look at the cast in action below!

IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE Comes to ActorsNET
What if FDR has been defeated in 1936 and a fascist had been elected President of the United States? How would Americans react to the implementation of martial law, and the elimination of rights enshrined in the U.S. Constitution? What would happen if a free press was muzzled? If citizens fled to Canada even as a resistance was formed -- and its leaders and members were rounded up and incarcerated or executed?
The Peccadillo Theater to Stage Reading of Sinclair Lewis' IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE
Imagine America ruled by a charismatic bigot elected president on a populist platform. That is what Nobel Prize winner Sinclair Lewis did in his long forgotten play IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, which uncannily reflects the current the state of American politics. The Peccadillo Theater Company will present a staged reading of IT CAN'T HAPPEN HERE, last seen on the New York Stage in 1936, for one night only on Monday, March 21st at 7:30 pm at the National Arts Club (15 Gramercy Park South).
