A note on Sunday’s heat: All audience seats are in the shade of large draping maples, and the altitude of Barnard (1500 ft) keeps things cooler than elsewhere. While it will be warm (90 degrees at 4pm), we don’t anticipate it being particularly uncomfortable in the shade as the humidity is expected to be low. Still concerned? We will exchange tickets by request through our contact page.

It Can’t Happen Here
A cautionary dark satire about the fragility of democracy and how fascism can take hold even in the land of liberty.
It Can’t Happen Here follows the ascent of a demagogue who becomes president of the United States after fomenting fear and promising drastic economic and social reforms while promoting a return to patriotism and “traditional” values. Witnessing the new president’s tyranny from the sidelines is a liberal, middle-class newspaper editor from Vermont who trusts the system will fix itself—until he ends up in a prison camp. Sinclair Lewis’ eerily prescient 1935 novel gets a fresh update in this adaptation that examines what brings a citizenry to the point of sacrificing its own freedom and how a courageous few can prevail to overcome the fall.
