Performance Santa Fe celebrates the holidays with the heart-wrenching production All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914!

All is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 relives a remarkable moment during World War I when Allied and German troops laid down their weapons to celebrate Christmas together with food and drink, carols, games, and a chance to lovingly bury their dead. Written and directed by Theater Latte Da’s artistic director Peter Rothstein with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach, this heart-wrenching theatrical concert weaves together Christmas Carols, World War I songs, and patriotic tunes with soldier diary entries, letters home, and official war documents. Critics hail All is Calm as “one of the top live events for Christmas in North America” (BBC Music Magazine) and “a classic to be repeated for years to come” (Minneapolis Star Tribune).
