All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914

The incomparable Theatre Latte Da brings an incredible holiday story to The Grand this November. All Is Calm recalls an astounding moment during WWI when Allied and German soldiers met in “No Man’s Land” and laid down their arms to celebrate the holiday together by trading carols, sharing food and drink, playing soccer and burying the dead. Music, an important part of life in the trenches, helped create a context that inspired the truce, and will be spotlighted in this holiday classic.

Written and directed by Peter Rothstein, All Is Calm combines period songs and firsthand accounts of this remarkable event to become a must-see holiday classic. The production is brought to life by a cast of 12 actor/singers and beautifully blends patriotic tunes, trench songs, medieval Scottish ballads and carols from England, Belgium and Germany with texts written by more than 35 World War I figures.

Don’t miss a chance to see a show recognized as “One of the Top Live Events for Christmas in North America” by the BBC when it comes to The Grand this holiday season.
