All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914
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.

~ 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.”

ASSISTED LISTENING DEVICES
A limited number of portable listening devices that amplify the sound from the stage are available free of charge from any usher for all events. A photo ID will be held while the equipment is in your possession.
ACCESSIBLE PARKING
There is a surface lot next to the theatre with entrances on Hennepin Avenue and Eighth Street.

ACCESSIBLE SEATING
The Pantages offer accessible seating in both main floor and balcony seating areas. Accessible seats in the balcony of the Pantages do not require any stairs as they can be accessed by elevator.
Seating is provided on a flat, level area that has padded armchairs which may be removed when access by a wheelchair is required. Each guest who requires accessible seating may purchase up to 3 adjacent seats for companions, subject to availability. Additional party members will be seated nearby or in other seating. Special consideration will be given to families for children’s productions. Please request accessible seating when you purchase your tickets.
If a guest wishes to transfer from their wheelchair to fixed seats the wheelchair will be taken to the outer lobby to comply with local fire code regulations. At the end of the performance an usher will return the wheelchair to the guest. We do not recommend transferring to fixed seats unless absolutely necessary as this may hinder evacuation in emergency situations.
If a guest does not use a wheelchair but needs assistance walking from the lobby to their seat, please call the Box Office in advance or email to arrange for the use of our house wheelchair. Please understand that our staff is unable to physically assist guests.
If, after you have purchased your tickets, your situation changes and you find you will need special accomodations, please contact the box office by phone at 612.339.7007 to make arrangements in advance. If, after arriving at the theatre, you find your seats to be unsatisfactory, please notify an usher. Depending on availability, we may be able to accommodate a change in seating.
