It Can't Happen Here
It Can’t Happen Here is a 1917 play based on the 1936 Sinclair Lewis’ novel of the same name. It chronicles the rise of a populist US politician who is elected president on a platform of patriotism and traditional values and a promise to restore the country to prosperity and greatness. Once elected, the new president establishes an authoritarian regime which outlaws dissent, centralizes power and responds to protests with violence.
Cecilia Smith, Elaine deBliquy and Debbie Watson have formed Drooling Pups Productions and will be presenting a reading of the play, It Can’t Happen Here, at the Music Hall in Uxbridge on October 4, 2019. The play is being used to start a conversation on the importance of political engagement. We all have busy lives and sometimes it’s hard to find time to do anything other than complain about all that is not being done to solve municipal, provincial, federal and world issues. We forget that we have a voice and we have to make it heard. It Can’t Happen Here is a thought provoking play that we hope will launch a very important conversation.

Uxbridge, Ontario L9P 1H1
The stage lights fall, the crowd goes quiet, and four harmonious voices rise up and fill the air. The melodies unfurl into something both familiar and fresh. What comes next may be a classic song by Joni Mitchell or Louis Prima. It may be an old bebop standard or cheeky arrangement of a 1980s hit. But these are arrangements like you’ve never heard them before—containing all the richness of a full band, but performed using just four voices.
This is Cadence, Canada’s three-time JUNO Award nominated vocal group! Based in Toronto, this a cappella ensemble has been wowing audiences across the country and around the world for nearly 20 years. Whether performing at sold-out jazz clubs and concert halls, at music festivals, or for educational outreach, the members of Cadence bring an infectious energy and uncanny verve to every song they sing.
Cadence’s live shows are always a hit. They feature a hypnotic blend of complex harmonies, intricate arrangements, vocal dexterity, and just plain fun. On-stage antics and audience participation are par for the course at any Cadence show, but so too is a mesmerizing display of musical genius. What these boys can do with their voices needs to be heard to be believed.
