Description
DETROIT LAKES, MN – The Historic Holmes Theatre in Detroit Lakes is proud to announce that the hit show All Is Calm: The Christmas Truce of 1914 is returning on Tuesday, Dec. 19 at 7 p.m. Presented by Theatre Latté Da, All Is Calm relives an astounding moment in history when Allied and German soldiers laid down their arms to celebrate Christmas together. This remarkable true story is told and sung in the words of the men who lived it.
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 thirty World War I soldiers and music including patriotic tunes, trench songs and Christmas carols. This moving ode to peace was created by Theater Latté Da’s acclaimed artistic director Peter Rothstein with musical arrangements by Erick Lichte and Timothy C. Takach, produced in collaboration with Hennepin Theatre Trust. A special thanks to SJE Rhombus for sponsoring this show.
