All Is Calm: The Truce of 1914

A Story About Peace on Earth

November 24 to December 27

Written by Peter Rothstein
Vocal Arrangements by Erick Lichte & Timothy C. Takach

This holiday season, join us for a remarkable true story of Peace on Earth, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.

A gaggle of weary English soldiers hunker down in the trenches of The Western Front at Christmas in 1914. They slowly realize that all is calm, until they hear a solo voice with a Christmas carol drifting toward them. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht,” and what follows is an extraordinary night of camaraderie, 
fuelled by stories, patriotic tunes, trench songs, and Christmas carols. 

Crowned “One of the top live events for Christmas in North America” by BBC Music Magazine, All Is Calm will take you on a journey to parts of the heart rarely explored. Don’t miss this unforgettable celebration of our 
shared humanity.

Recommended for ages 12 and up.
