Peppermint Creek Theatre Company is proud to be premiering the first full, in-person production since the pandemic began in March 2020!
All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914recounts an astounding moment in history when Allied and German soldiers laid down their arms to celebrate Christmas together, sharing food and drink, playing soccer, singing carols and burying each other’s dead. In some places along the Western Front the truce lasted a single night, and in others it endured until New Year’s Day.
This dramatic re-telling weaves together firsthand accounts by 30 World War I soldiers with music including patriotic tunes, trench songs and Christmas carols. The cast includes ten local singers performing the 90-minute production completely accapella. This performance will be presented free of charge at four different community locations:
