The Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence a silence, then a song. A German soldier steps into No Man’s Land singing “Stille Nacht.” Thus begins an extraordinary night of camaraderie, music, peace. A remarkable true story, told in the words and songs of the men who lived it.


“A beautiful musical recounting of a World War I cease-fire of gifts, poetry, and melody.”
The New York Times

“Hands down, the most emotionally moving Christmas show I’ve ever seen.”
– Theatermania

“The exquisitely performed All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 is reaching out intimately and powerfully to audiences…a brilliant show that you should see immediately.”
- The Daily Beast

“A heartbreaking tribute to the men, who, in defiance of their commanders had the courage to affirm their common humanity.” 
– The New Yorker
