By Peter Rothstein
With musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach
Produced by Cantus, Theater Latté Da and Hennepin Theatre TrustThe Western Front, Christmas, 1914. Out of the violence comes 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.

We have enjoyed much popular and critical acclaim from local media. All Is Calm has become a noteworthy, powerful and moving musical theater work that the Star Tribunehails as “a classic to be repeated for years to come.””While it’s a relatively new work, ‘All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914′ has quickly become a Twin Cities favorite. It features the real-life story of men on either side of a war who find a common bond, and a momentary peace, in Christmas carols.”
~ Marianne Combs on MPR’s State of the Arts blog

“It’s not only an outstanding piece of musical theater, but a brilliantly executed production that understands that its power comes from its simplicity.”
~ Pioneer Press

“Rothstein, Cantus artistic director Erick Lichte and their charges have given us a great gift this season, reinvesting the words ‘Peace on Earth’ with their true meaning.”
~ Graydon Royce, Star Tribune

“The singing is absolutely top-notch, and the spoken parts – including words written both by ‘ordinary’ and well-known soldiers – are equally eloquent and moving.”
~ Classics Today

“The most powerful message delivered to the stage since Les Miserables.”
~ Audience Member

We look forward to bringing the story of the World War I Christmas Truce around the United States. Please visit the Cantus website here to purchase tickets to any of these performances.Saturday, November 26, 7:00 p.m.
