All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

By Peter Rothstein With Musical Arrangements by Erick Lichte & Timothy C. Tapachula Directed by Sasha Bratt December 2, 2020 – December 20, 2020 *Please note that dates, locations, titles, and formats are subject to change. A remarkable true story from the Western Front. All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 relives an astounding moment in history; in a silence amid the combat, a soldier steps into no man’s land singing “Silent Night.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie between the Allied troops and German soldiers. They lay down their arms to celebrate the holiday, share food and drink, play soccer, and sing carols. This dramatic retelling weaves together firsthand accounts of World War I soldiers with patriotic tunes, trench songs, and Christmas Carols. Depending on COVID-19 and determinations made by the CDC and Governor Lamont, there may be an online option and an outdoor option to see this production. Indoor is yet to be determined.
